5♦ isn't favorite to make imo.
You need a club finesse and even if it's on you didn't make yet.
I would expect 4♦ scoring just as well or even better at mp's as it beats all other partscore scores and failed games.
Simulation might show 5♦ makes more than 50% (i need to check this) but you always guess spades playing double dummy.

Please reconsider ;)

The bidding tells you that the club finesse is on and (I think) also makes it easier to guess spades.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket
