1♦ unless playing that 4NT shows a good 5m preempt. I hoenstly think that this is too good for 5♦ at these colors.

This is not the hand to ruin a good partnership over and if all you have is rather standard methods and if PD opens 1♦ and rebids 5♦ and things don't work out, don't criticize. If PD opens 5♦ and you miss a cold slam, don't criticize and if PD opens 6♦ (I don't hate it, since sometimes the opps have 11 or 12 tricks in their suit) don't criticize.

On a scale of a max of 10.. for me..(assuming 4nt doesn't exist here)

1♦ 10
5♦ 8.5
6♦ 3.5

and yeah.. I like that 4NT= good 5m opener.

OP specified IMPs.
Would you consider another opening at MPs?
