Jeffrey (my husband) has just suggested 2NT, which isn't something that occurred to me, but on reflection we quite like.
- we can't go too far wrong in hearts, because he didn't overcall or jump overcall NV
- our spades are such that it is extremely unlikely partner has a good hand with spade length
- if he's got random balanced rubbish, he'll raise (which is what we want)
- if he passes it might make!
the biggest downside is that we might miss 5D. Or 6D if partner passed over 1S on Kxxx x xxxx AKxx. Or 7D if partner has KJxx A xxxx Axxx.

Frances, how does Jeffrey play 2N in the balance chair?
I play it as 17+ -19 balanced. Is he suggesting the actual hand falls into this description?
