yield-harvest Yield Difference between Jalafuego (F1) vs Jalapeno M (OP)

Hello all,
 
I was wondering what the yield difference between hybrid Jalapenos (example Jalafuego) and heirloom / open pollinated varieties (example Jalapeno M) is on average. If anyone has any information, please share. Thank you.
 
It will vary from variety to variety.  But one of the selling points of hybrids is that they're supposed to exhibit "hybrid vigor".
 
It's no guarantee, but one typically will hope that hybrids are easier to grow and give better yield.
 
How they taste? That's another matter, and entirely subjective.
