The choice is between 2heart and 3heart with 3diamond as an outsider. Well, now you can see the West hand I expect you say that you would have bid 2heart. This would be correct for the reason that 70% of your high cards are not in partner's suits, and will therefore not be pulling full weight. Top marks for 2heart.

Of course many of the most interesting hands to play are found when partnerships overbid, so no prizes for guessing that you have to make 4heart on heartQ lead.
