Gotta leave a blot...but which blot?

20/11 looks enticing, but white will be happy to hit loose on the blot left behind and she has three builders aimed at it. 20/11 practically guarantees blue will be on the bar and then either white makes her five point or gains 20 pips of timing for her backgame when her slot is sent to the roof.
13/7 11/8 gives white fewer shots, and when missed blue should own the outfield against a "backgame" with not nearly enough timing. Seems like this play tends to lead to a deuce-point holding game - I like those, as long as I'm not the one holding the deuce point.
13/7 11/8
