I don't understand 3♥. We have found our fit, and when we are inviting game we should tell partner about it. He will be much better placed to make a decision when he thinks we have a 6xx4 or 6xx3 16-count, rather than a 5314 17-18 count.

since F1NT I would go slow with 2♣ planning on 3♥/2 and 3♠/2♠ over 2♦ haven't decided if 2♠ or 3♦ is best
Edit -- Not being able to see the hand while posing I must have thought the hand was 6333

I don't think that's true at all. He will go back to spades anyway with four hearts so I see no reason not to tell him where his values will be useful or to help him bid 3NT if he thinks it's best. I think the argument about showing 1 more card vs 3 more cards applies here.

Now over 2s by pard I will try 3s.
Pass second choice.
Pard will have around 4-7 with 3spades or up to 9 highs with 2 spades.

No, I pass, I'm glad with that at MP. I hate stiff Aces.
BTW that's why I play some kind of gazzilli on those sequences.

I do, but if not vulnerable. The reason is I gladly open 1♠ with 10 HCP not vulnerable, but I do open 2♠ vulnerable sometimes with 11.
Wich means different ranges, and too wide to bid 2♠ then.

You have 15
Actually 10-15 and 16-18 (approximately) are perfect because then everything is a 3 point range. Partner can invite over 2♠ so your ranges are 10-12, 13-15, 16-18.
