I would bid 4NT, using the gadget that you mentioned and even with flaws due to weak ♦, i have minors and a strong hand. Pd has 3 or less ♥, we are unlikely to be in misfit. My only concern is we maybe missing 6-2 or a good 5-2 ♠ fit, but we cant search for all under all this pressure by opponents. At least pd and i will be in same track, since you said this is the only agreement we have.

I agree with MrAce: 4NT
One more point: these 2maj-p-3maj preemptive openings are quite common, your competitive bids should carry their meaning after the "sum" of opps action, i.e. X shows the values to double 3H, 3S shows values to bid 3S after 3H, 3NT shows the values of a 3NT bid after a 3H opening.
Your hand doesnt fulfill any of these competitive bids, so your only choice is 4NT (ur agreed on convention) - of course with the risk of missing a good game in S. But for this reason your opps preempt, to make ur life difficult, right?
