IMO Rub of the green. East's double is risky with such weak ♠ but still tempting. West's 4♠ is fine. When 4♠ is doubled East may have some misgivings but neither player has much reason to run.

Let me see the NS hands and I will be able to answer the question. :)

I would think that you should be in 5♦ (presumably doubled) which will go down 2 tricks in all likelihood (AK of spades, A of hearts and a spade ruff). There is a small chance that you can hold 4♠x to down 1 or even making, but it is more likely that you will go for a large number in 4♠x.

At the table, it would have to be East who would do the running. But I don't know that either partner can really run from 4♠x with any reasonable confidence that it is right to run.

perfect bidding lands can land in poor scores, doing something else here is an overlearning problem.
