Hey Tim, don't be so hard on yourself, calling -0.052 a blunder.

In the first alternate, absolutely 13/7* must be best, I'd think. Not only does 5/1 5/3 blot on the ace point, which frees White to be creative, it also removes the last spare from the 5 point and moves it to the awful 3 point. Notice that in the original position 3/1 was excellent, since that's the only use that could be made of the 3-point spare.

In the second, I'd have hit 12/7* with the 4-1 and would be interested in seeing a rollout if you do one. With the outfield point on the 11 point and a 3-1, like Gnubg I'd also hit, and as in the first alternate not to hit means losing the only 5 point spare.
