Use 2N for balanced hands and 1444 and 1345 and 1435. You will not miss clubs since opener will bid 3C over 2N with 4 card club support, and often with 3 card support and concern about a red suit...say 6313 or 6133.

South should have bid 2NT, and I'm also not a fan of the 4♦. South knows that a source of tricks from North is going to be vital, and the South hand is nothing but keycards. Let partner North ask aces, they will have a near-complete picture of the 52 cards!
Also thank West for not bidding 4♥ over 2♣.

I'm getting some resistance from players who think 2nt by South here should show a balanced hand and must promise 2 cards in partners major, which is how I've played it, until now.
They would jump to 4M with 6 after 2nt, which could be the crux of the problem. I now see 2N is the only bid with these 1444 o. 1345 etc hands.
