Time to pinch out my tomato tips?

An interesting year for tomatoes - a friend in Kent is furiously whinging about the absence thereof.
My tomatoes in the mini-tomato house have not done that well, which may have to do with my buying a smaller growbag by mistake.
But the trailing "Peardrop" tomatoes by the front door are going beserk. On one side there is one in a hanging flowerpot, which is showing signs of a decent harvest. It has flowers, and nearly grown tomatoes on it simultaneously.
On the other side I have 3 plants in a tub, which are now several feet high, and are developing a *lot* of tomatoes.
Both have been well-watered, and I switched form generic to tomato fertiliser as usual.
As we are still early in the season I am tempted to leave them to see how long the crop lasts.
Any comment or wisdom is most welcome.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
