I have had good luck growing big tomatoes on the first truss which would be about a foot off the ground. Don't think I would trim any mega bloom off until I was sure of the one I was going to try and finish out.

I remove all blooms under the plant is at least 3 feet tall. I did, however have a megabloom on one of my Delicious plants that began to form before the plant was 3.0 feet in height so I kept it.
I also have another megabloom on a Church plant that's approx 2.5 feet.
I'd keep the megablooms and remove the rest.
