OTB I'd be on auto-pilot with 13/8, 24/23.

QF makes me stop to analyze, and I can see merit in playing 24/18 instead. White has a high anchor and threats to prime. Minor split doesn't help with that much. Going all the way to the bar does help. It starts a high "anchor" and challenges White's builders while holding a better board. Out of the hit-or-build(or play safe) numbers I guess only [31] look like clear PoHs. The other ones look close. That says the risk is just not there.

With QF I switch to 24/18.
