Offense, defense, or a bit of both?

No way I'm staying on the 22-point at this score, having just taken a 4 pip race lead. Stopping on the 18-point means 13/9(2) for the rest. Problem is, it's hard to clear the opponent's barpoint so that point is best kept as a weapon for games where you're behind in the race. How does continuing 18/14(2) look? Most rolls will play at least OK -- of course that's going to depend upon how White plays his next roll. If White stays back, I only see 5-4 leaving a direct shot with a couple 6-large rolls leaving indirects. Looks like there are at least that many awkward rolls after making the 9-point. All the way out for me.

Summary: 22/14(2).
