I would just zoom 4♠. The info leak offsets some vig from just blasting. 2nd choice is 3♠ if inv.
Absolutely - reserve the asking bid for hands where you'll always be able to use the info better than the ops. And there's always the problem of when your partner's response means he or she's playing the hand - a 3S response to your asking bid may well be a hand you want to be in 4S on, but the ops will be able to play the hand practically double dummy as soon as the lead is faced.
