I'm tempted to claim that all other things being equal, the 4pt
is usually slightly better than the 9pt. The trouble is, all
other things are rarely equal. If you search the BGOnline archives
for "4pt vs 9pt chow" you'll find about a dozen problems of this
type.
In the case at hand, I think ah...Clem analyzed it well, and came
up with XG's play of 13/9 10/9.

The short version is "if opponent owns or
has a blot on your 3pt then make the 9pt...".
