IMO 2♦ = 10, 3♦ = 8, 2♠ = 7, 2♥ = 6, 3♠ = 5, 3♥ = 4.

2D. This covers the most bases. If partner goes back to 2H, I rebid 2S to complete the description of my hand - extras, 3S-5H-3+D.

I agree with 2♦ and it's good to have the agreement that delayed support shows extras, i.e.

With Kxx AKQJx QJxx x you bid 1♥-1♠-2♦-2♥-2♠
With Kxx AQxxx QJxx x you bid 1♥-1♠-2♠

Without that agreement hands like this are a problem.

2D for me and will continue with a further S bid if possible. Some play this delayed raise does not show any extra, some want extras. Should partner bid 2H over 2D if we continue now with 2S it is very possible we have popped into a 4/3 fit from a 5/2 fit. I like to have a tad more to bit extra for 2S over the 2H for this reason.

Agree and disagree. I say 2♦ and all other bids zero.
