For money: nearest sqrt([86-32]*2)=10 => White can take 10 pips down.

At the score she can take a pip later. Also, note White has efficient bear off position, and Blue doesn't. Flat position wastes 10 pips, and efficient little over 7. Here Blue has no checkers on the ace (good), but will waste more when rolls an ace on the next roll or two. I would say it will cost Blue 2.5 pips in the race. Add this up, and the take looks very clear.
