Could we please also consider:
4/2*(2), 3/1(2)*,
23/21, 9/7*, 3/1(2)* and
23/21, 9/7*, 4/2(2)*
All of which put two on the roof in relative safety.

although its not listed (yet) i would play 9-7*, 3-2(2)*, and 23-21. this puts 2 on the bar, and also gets our back men moving. i wouldn't argue too much with a doubles partner who just wanted to switch points 4-2(2)* 3-1(2)* which also puts 2 on the bar but i like trying to get our back men moving when there is a small risk to them now.

while its a reasonable play i think that ANY move that doesn't put 2 on the bar is an error or worse.

I have added in 3 more double hit options, but not the no hit option, which did not seem popular.
I reset votes to zero, so everyone can think again....enjoy :-)
Oh, and try not to think of any more good plays ;)

23/21 9/7* 4/2*(2). The point of putting two in the air is to allow us to sort out our back men without the risk of being attacked. Shifting points twice misses that point - we're no closer to getting out and have men out of play. The two best options are shifting points once, then 9/7* (looking towards making the bar soon), then a back man to guard against getting too many 4s and 5s before a 6 comes along. Of the two possibilities, I'd rather not have dead men on the ace - and if the bar is made then a White anchor on the ace is well blocked in.
