What I thought was interesting about this position was that at most scores it seems to be better to pay later, but at GS it seems to be better to pay now.
A couple of years ago, 6stones advanced the Bold at Gammon Save hypothesis: If at GS it is correct to hit loose instead of a 'safer alternative', then it is highly likely that the same play is correct at GG, DMP and scoreless money play. Here, there's no hit available, but paying now could be considered the "bold" play since it gives the opponent more shots. If we accept that, then this is a position where the bold play is indicated at GS but not at other scores.
