Opp has made the anchor, we should try too. We have equal boards, so it's not really that risky. I'd go with the split bravely. The position is far from hopeless for us to surrender to an ace-point game trying to get lucky with boxes or indirects.

After the split I think the 13/9 is better. It dupes 2s, leave a blot in front of an anchor that's risky to break for the opp, while creating a nice set of builders for us. I don't really like the slot with only 1 safe cover and an exchange of hits closing.

My play is the fighting 24/21 13/9.
