That's just a style issue, I'm sure there are some who prefer X to 1D here.

If I had more in spades and less in clubs, I'd at least consider doubling 1C with 3352. I very often would double 1D with 3325 rather than bidding 2C.

Bergen recommends a double with this shape and strength in "Points, schmoints!". I prefer 1♦ FWIW. Maybe against pair playing 4-card majors, where 1♣ has a bigger chance of getting raised, dbl has more going for it.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket
