DMP prime-vs-prime decision

I'll say a few things that I think about with prime vs prime positions.
1) I think it's seldom right to break your prime from the middle. The 7/4 6/4 play you mention is very bad I think.
2) Try and roll your prime forward by slotting the start of it and breaking from the back as needed. This is one reason I chose 6/4 5/2*
3) Try and keep your opponent moving, be careful about sticking him on the bar
4) Keep alert to just cutting your losses and playing as safe as possible while still trying to win. Sometimes the prime vs prime is just not going to work (or you will lose way too many gammons at score to try and win it in a risky manner) and you have to try hard to avoid as many big gammon losses as possible. That is not relevant in this DMP position, if it was, then making the 3pt might be best.
