I'd always get this hand off my chest as a 22-24 NT. I open 2NT in my methods to show that hand, most natural bidders have to bid 2♣...2NT.
Kind regards,
Harald

Nobody said 2C followed by a diamond bid. Why is this? Don't we have eight and a half playing tricks?

Might go
2♣-2♦
3♦-3♥
3NT - pass

?
I ♦ Transfers

3♦ takes up a lot of bidding space and I don't have solid agreements with any regular p about continuations, let alone with a not so regular p. After a 2N rebid partner knows how to look for a major suit fit.
