I voted DBL and I don't like it with a void. It will not be difficult for an expert to convince me that 4 is better..(or 4 followed by 4)

It was very clear (hand with 13 cards, you even mentioned vuln and format :o )
..but I prefer a shorter notation of bidding:
(pass)-1-(pass)-1-
(3)-??
 
It better shows what happened (no bidding before and after the hand, clearer that RHO passed initially, clearer that you opened and not partner)

If we have discussed that 4D over 4C is looking for the best strain then I'll go with 4C. If we play it as a slam try then I'll double.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Hi,

4C.

It is usually not a good idead to make a X with a void.
Since 1S showed only 4 (?!), I will bid my 2nd suit.

With kind regards

I like 4, I just have to emphasize the suit I think.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Double or 4. The other options are not as good.
