Playing that the jump to 3NT shows 16-17 HCP is a great agreement imo.

why not 12-14(15) and 2NT stronger? looks better to me.

WHAT! and leave extra room below game to explore for slam!! It's not like they were in a GF (NOT) and besides 2/1ers sneer at the fast arrival principle. ;)

Jumps should be descriptive and infrequent, IMO, since they take up bidding room. Also, you have more assurance that you do not need to explore for the best game when you have 28-30 HCP than when you have 24-26 HCP, so taking up the extra bidding room in this case actually makes the most sense with extra values.

Fast arrival is different, in that you have already determined the strain in which you should be playing, removing that consideration from the jump principle.
