Yes there is a discrepancy in suit quality between hand 1 and this hand but I don't see how the methods used would differ.
With the original hand, the only game might be 5
♣ on a 6-1 fit. Showing the poor hearts won't get you there.
With the hypothetical, the only game might be 4
♥ on a 4-3 fit. How will you get there if the 3
♥ is not taken as suggesting a possible strain?
Or is it your point that _because_ 2/1 is not quite GF, you can't describe this hand. I certainly agree with that!
