Your second variant occurs with the sequence Blue 55, White non-doublet 6. When thinking about whether this might be too good I wondered about this and the more common (16) rolls where Blue gives up his 4-pt, not blotting there, and White enters just one. Now that I see your variant #2 I'm thinking Blue subsequently would be not good enough on this more common scenario.

All this shows how playing on for a gammon in the original position is a very bad idea.
