Thanks for your replies.
I was in the double camp, because of the poor quality heart suit and the great spades. KQ of clubs was ok for me because even if partner bids clubs he will usually have 5 or more and KQ tight will play ok in that strain. At the table I doubled, which worked out badly as LHO redoubled and partner bid 2♣ with xx/Qx/xxx/Txxxxx. clubs were 4-1 so we were doubled and lost 500.

So you play your 8 card fit and you go -2 when clubs go 4-1.
By the way, the opponents can make 3N.
