Spoiler
For the best possible explanation as to why at 2-away, 2-away one should always cube "at the first possible opportunity" see dorbel's excellent blog of 30th December: http://dorbeldaily.blogspot.com/ (http://dorbeldaily.blogspot.com/)

And I'll be taking this cube, for all the reasons that Dorbel says.
And if the Herd hadn't cubed, I'd be turning it ASAP myself. So, we'd wind up with a dead cube at 2 regardless.
