dbl not much heartache for those that choose pass but have to admit 3n seems somewhat far fetched and needs a whole lot of luck to work. Dbl leaves 3s 3n 4c 4d 4s 5c 5d still in play and 3n leaves ummm 3n since p has no clue what you bid it with. It is very unlikely but x might also get us a rather large penalty in 3h x. I realize 3n is a big reward spot when it works but it can quite easily be a disaster when there are so many other possible places to play. At MP I can see some of the appeal for 3n since it rates to be a huge winner when it is right and it is only 1 board when it is wrong (however spectacularly).

 

MP dbl = 8 pass = 5 3n = 4

IMPS dbl = 8.5 pass = 4.5 3n = 3

4m is such a nice landing spot, isn't it?
