Yes, I think there is another play worth considering - the loose hit 11/4*. Since we are behind in the race and he has no board, it's thematic.  But usually you do this sort of loose hit when there's nothing clearly better.  I think making the five point is better.

sometimes i think you have a tendency to over think these things.
