Break anchor to hit? #6

Hitting the checker on the the 18 point will start off unnecessary complications. Without an anchor and several blots exposed, a re-hit by White from the bar followed by a dance on my part is simply too much to bear.
By calmly playing 13/7, 13/10, I steadily strengthen my position without allowing any immediate counterplay. I am a clear favorite after any response by White. Certain rolls such as 55 and 66 which are White's dancing numbers if I hit, are almost as bad since White can no longer hope to make a four-prime against my back checkers. Even if he manages to cover his bar point, I have more checkers to play with and he has yet to anchor on the 22 or 21 point. My broken five-prime will make it very difficult for White to escape both back checkers.
