  Personally I would not as it is too much of a distortion because I have longer and stronger clubs. I will also not be ashamed of reversing with such a powerful playing trick hand.

    OK. No, never.
    
    I'm not sure I'd reverse but I'd certainly be happy to make several noises on the hand, in what is likely to be a competitive auction (both with partner and oppo).
    
    Why would I want to show 5+D and 4+C when I'm actually 5-6?

  This is a 1C opener for me too for the sensible reasons stated above.
  
  Regards.
