And the Herd re-enters with 21, putting one on the roof.  How would you like to play the 2?

Spoiler
After 24+ hrs and a very close vote, the Herd chose the slightly riskier move, leaving an indirect shot from the bar but, according to a BGBlitz rollout, with a greater match winning probability than the other two:  94.3% for bar-24, 11-9 as against 93.8% for both bar-24, 7-5 and bar-24, 5-3.
