I am with the minority: 3♠.
1) It shows that my hand is unbalanced. (My 1♦ opening can be balanced.)
2) I like my nice diamond suit. (It is fine to add half a loser for the ♠Q, if you then subtract half a loser for the ♦J9. KQJ9x is substantially better than KQxxx. The difference is a lot more than 1 HCP.)
3) I do have good spade spots.

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

2♠, if partner can't bid again, the game is far away.

I agree with your bid but if you think you are not going to ever miss game if partner passes that is really wrong. Do you think partner will game try with AKxxx xx xxx xxx?
