Yes but as i said in other thread, this is not a matter of style. There are things at bridge which is really hard to duck by saying it is a style. This is one of them imo. This is like ABC of bridge, bidding 2♠ has no logical ground whatsoever, imho.

This is a 2/1 GF auction. This is not like you open a major, pd bid ssomething at 1 level and u have 6M+4m. This is totally different.

Unless your side can gain by the later discovery that opener has 6-4 in the majors and no extra strength.

Or unless, on another holding, your side can gain by discovering that opener has 6-4 in the majors with above the minimum. Even in 2/1 G.F., there is some advantage in showing extra values or denying extra values while determining strain.

If you are playing 2/1, you're better off defining 1M-2m-2M as one example of a 2/1 auction that does not force game. That makes 2♥ rebid a game force, which you don't want to do with this hand if you have no fit.

In 2/1, 2m forces game, there is no bail-out option.
