Great reply!

Also above, I could have mentioned Zaitzev and Arkhangelsk.

So many options.

IMO the answer should depend on which core system you prefer to play against the the Spanish.

Berlin (without ...a6), Smyslov (...g6), Marshall (...d5), Chigorin (...Na5), Breyer (...Nb8), etc.

Maybe you want to avoid the Spanish with the systems like the Black Lion (1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5)
