Yes entering on 21 seems more important than deciding whether to hit or not.
My thinking exactly.
What if the roll is 4-3, then you enter on 21 and must decide whether to hit 5/2* or pass 4/1?
I would not hit. The runner on the 21pt is relatively safe. White has a direct shot from his bar point, but all his other shots are indirects. There does not seem to be any need for a tempo hit. Blue does not need the complication of a 2nd checker having to run the gauntlet.
