I just had this hand in a Best Hand Tourney, but seemed like a good problem even in human partnerships. What do you bid here?

edit: total points scoring for those not familiar with those tourneys.

4, though the bidding seems to me like 6 will make because the finesses *should* be onsides.

I like 4H, I'm unconvinced that 5H shows no diamond control, so I am a bit scared about some kind of AKxx Kxxx xx Kxx type hand.

Well, the hand is clearly better than your average "balanced 12-14 with 4 hearts". But don't forget responder might have stretched to double 4. Let's not hang him :)
