Well, there's always the fact 3NT makes :)

but at the table I declined the invite (as was the majority view here), evaluating the hand to a pretty ordinary 13 and not playing teams. (At teams I feel one should generally accept with any non-min, rather than explicitly a max.) I suppose the position in hearts is rather fortunate.

I'd be very tempted to just bid 3 NT with responder's hand. It is a terrific hand. The intermediate combinations are big positives.
