The auction uncontested goes 1♦ - 1♥ - 1NT to you.
In your style, do you invite with this hand? If vul matters, say so.

Seriously, though, this isn't a system-specific forum. If I'm playing SA or something similar, pass.

We are all connected to each other biologically, to the Earth chemically, and to the rest of the universe atomically.
We're in the universe, and the universe is in us.

Makes it closer for me but I would still like to see a couple more 98's or 10's before I would invite.

Inviting MIGHT reach a magic game or a game making on misdefence, but has several ways to lose and only one way to win.
We may reach the wrong game...we may be in 4♥ when 3N makes or vice versa, so even when he has the magic hand, we may lose.
We may be too high in 2N or 3♥. Again, we may reach the wrong partial....while 1N may also be 'wrong' it rates to be a minus only rarely.
Partner will often accept the invitation on hands that offer no realistic play for game.

I might invite if playing polish club (because 1♦ is 5+cards there).
Opposite better minor I don't think it's worth an invite but I think this hand is not that far away from it.
