It is not a surprise that the safer play comes out ahead. The simple rule of "sixes and sevens" suggests that (and there will be many exceptions), taking six men off justifies leaving one extra shot, and taking seven men off justifies leaving two extra shots. Here the riskier play only takes five men off, so is quite a bit worse.

The match score will affect this as well. It is interesting to remove checkers from blue's four-point and I think removing two makes the bold play correct. But I do not have time to do a long rollout!
