1NT is 15-17, 2♦ is natural, should be 6+ but can be 5 with a great suit.

2S. My suit is quality, which is good for an alternative partscore. Plus, partner is allowed to have something tremendous like Axx x AKxxxx xxx or Kxx x AKJxxx xxx.

Chase I think this hand is worth an invite. It has good trump and AJ♥ nice but 8 loser hand with lots of holes.
So if playing Lebensohl will go 2N-3♣-3♠
or if not hopefully 3♠ INV
if not will err on the side of being aggressive and bid 4♠

You're opposite the overcall not opposite the notrump, are you really playing Lebensohl ?

I would just pass. Especially at IMP
I have xx ♦ and i don't know how many spades pd has. After 15-17 NT i will not try to seek game with this hand. i am happy to play 2♦ if they come back with 2♥ now i can bid 2♠
On a very lucky day they may even come back with 2♠

I had thought that this was on purpose and an interesting idea.

Over a strong no trump it has merit particularly where you want to distinguish between a drop dead 3♣ and an invitational one, but you're bidding game once in a blue moon, do you really need 3 ways to bid spades as you have the 2 level available ?

I don't know! I said I thought it was interesting, not that I thought it was best.
