Trivial take, but is it still a double?

A position like this I usually double. Lots of opportunities to build the prime within the next several rolls pinning those white checkers back. Even if one of them manages to escape Blue would still have an advantage rolling that prime in against one White checker. Waiting to double seems like an equity losing situation -- if the prime builds or White is unable to hit any blots then White will have to drop any future double. White has a take now since things are not guaranteed for Blue and White has time to build a nasty inner board prime. D/T.
