i used to do similar, but then i found out about "single leader" pruning using "lower and lean" and gave it a try and found it much easier for picking fruit and keeping pests/diseases at bay. it also makes it far easier to grow dozens of plants since you don't need multiple stakes per plant to support all the side shoots that set fruit, which was okay when i just a had a couple of plants. i think you get better tomatoes this way as well since you keep fewer trusses on the plant at a time so it can put more effort into them.
