I would bid 4♥.
I suggest the following structure of game raises in this situation :
4♥ = lots of shape, min in hcp , normally 6-4 or perhaps 5440.
4♦ = 18-19 bal with 4 card support, or similar.
3♠ (or 4♣) = splinter, with extra strength, and defense as well.

Why don't you cuebid with the balanced hand?, I prefer 4♦ to be a slam try with 4 hearts and good diamonds.
