4NT.

This should ensure, that we play our
best minor suit fit, ... I would prefer
to play diamonds.

With kind regards

If partner has two of the AK, AK then it seems like we have decent chances at a minor suit game (basically on a club finesse through non-preempter).

Obviously bidding with this hand could be a disaster at red v. white, but the odds of partner holding two or more of those four red cards are pretty substantial (especially since LHO is unlikely to hold them). And even when we can't make anything at the five level, opponents still have to find a double, and 5mX-1 may be a good undoubled sacrifice.

I agree with the big group.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
