When I checked these and saw the 13-7(3) play come so close I did a +/+ RO. It falls a little further behind (it's -0.042 after 2500 trials). It was actually ahead after a few hundred. It's interesting that the early start setting up against the possible backgame comes so close.

I'd rather try to nip it in the bud than simply allow it to form. And as a practical matter OTB I suppose not setting the stage 100% for the difficult, long, drawn-out backgame is preferable.
