Josh's defence looks excellent Richard, and yes, Ben's responses go for simplicity.

I also play some sort of rough two's (2m = weak, 4+m and 4+M), but also with other response schemes (home made). I like full relays (and my partner likes that as well), but our invitational bids are also well defined. The only problem we've encountered is finding a 5-3♥ fit when partner opens 2♦ with a 3 card ♥ and 4+♠s. However, if opps intervene we find it :P

I noticed that many people indeed have problems defending against such bids. We get a lot of good scores when we open these.

Note, I also play Ekren 2♥, and I also prefer it above 2♦. But as it is with the rough two's, if opps Dbl, you get a lot more interesting runout schemes to find the best contract. This might make the Ekren 2♦ better.
If you ask me, Dbl is one of the worst bids you can make when opps open such gadget.
