4c not stopping short of slam. I hope partner has an opening bid. No problem yet.

Opening style matters an awful lot here.

 

If partner is fond of opening light with distributional hands then I'd bid a simple 3N and risk missing slam.

 

If partner favors a sound opening style, then 4 is a lot more attractive.

I'll vote 3NT. Agree it's a close decision and good problem.

This is a tough problem for us light openers.

I think it's very close between 3NT and 4.

At MP I'll tend to bid 3NT.

But at IMP's I'll make a try for slam, as it's possible to stop in 5. If partner rebids 4, I'll raise to 5.
