So what were the hands?

Let me quote my earlier post...

I suspect partners hand is something close to....

QJxx Ax AK KQTxx


Now, we see I underestimated by the SPADE TEN instead of SPADE x... i will have to go work on my crystal ball.

I'm wondering what people think is the right call now. This is a good hand that just got better, but partner has, imo, promised little more than a 5-4 hand that was worth an honest 1 level response. Otherwise put, responder is accepting that the hand will be played in game, but he could be stretching a little. It would be nice to bid 4D, if that would be clear as agreeing spades and suggesting slam. Would it be so taken? Seems to me it should be, even w/o discussion.

I assume that the general dissing of 5NT remains in force.

Well done Ben! I see that I can safely try such a 5NT bid when playing with you! ;)
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
