I have only tasted two named varieties Mango and Shenandoah.  They were 
both delicious, sweet, fruity, bright without the taste/smell of 
overripe banana (tang) that the wild fruits contain.

There was a 6 year gap between tasting them so I cannot compare their 
tastes directly. I do remember the mango surprised me with its 
deliciousness.

In my experience, the selected varieties are worth the effort. That is 
why I keep trying to buy grafted trees and to graft my sprouts.
