Another good hand for the B/I forum. I'm turning into a Frances!
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Personally, I bid 2♦. But double is a close second choice.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure what I do between dbl and 2♦. May depend on how comfortable my partner is declaring 4-3 fits. If he is too comfortable (3-3 fit might be found) or not at all comfortable (will not play the 4-3 well) I'd be more inclined to find the 2♦ which also has the nice lead directing features. But I suspect I'd double much of the time.

Agree with Jilly.
