I like the practical bid. 6♥. Pard will bid on with no wasted values in spades.
Wow. Faith.

I don't see the benefit of 6♥ over 6NT, if this is gonna end on a strip squeeze it will work as fine in ♥ or NT.
I won't double because I don't want partner to be declarer in 6NT (unless I play reversed lebensohl
), so in most partnerships I'll just bid 6NT.

I think the benefit is that partner might have a stiff in a minor.
