6/4(2) is mandatory on all counts; offense before defense.
With other two 2's, 24/22 13/11 leaves three blots where there should be none and making no new points.
The real choice should be either 24/22(2) or 13/11(2) which is considerably stronger for money and at all scores.
While I usually like making the 11-point with a 2-2 response -- 13/11(2), with my opponent's 5-point made I slightly prefer
the defensive anchor -- 24/22(2).
