Money Play. How should Red play 54?

Do you keep the strong home board or some flexibility? Normally breaking the home board is a bad idea but here 6/2, 6/1 doesn’t kill any checkers and the six point can still be remade.

The rollout can’t differentiate between the two ideas and 6/2, 6/1; 9/5, 8/3 and 9/4, 8/4 are for all intents and purposes, equal plays. There doesn’t always have to be a winner!
