Default Damaged tomato plant survival/production?

Greetings,

I have a question hopefully someone with some experience can answer.

One of my heirloom tomato plants I started from seed (only one of this
variety...) somehow had the top broke off of it. There are 2 small branches
below the break, and they're developing suckers. The plant is the "Aussie"
variety, and is currently about a foot tall or so. What's left below the
break looks healthy.

Is it worth giving this plant a chance? I have enough (15) tomato plants
that I don't really need a huge harvest off of it. It, along with about a
dozen other heirloom varieties, I'm growing for the first time this year.
I'd at least like to get a few tomatoes off of that plant to see how good
they are.

If anyone is interested in which varieties, and would like comment on their
experience with them, they a
