South dealt, E-W vulnerable. What is the correct bidding sequence for this deal?

(P)-1C-(3S)-X
(5S)-??

Here i think West is strong enough to make a forcing pass suggesting 6 is possible on wich East will glady accept with 5Nt followed by 6C.

(P)-1C-(4S)-4Nt (suggesting 2 suiters)
(5S)-again west is strong enough to make a FP, East should probably accept (but its much less clear this time).

In MP I wouldnt lose sleep with missing 6 here, but in IMPS its a fail to not reach 6 here because of the scoring a 35% slam might be ok and because opps will sometimes sacrifice a fair amount of the time at these colours.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
