Really?  Would you not say that also the CQ is a key card?

I can't see that the grand would ever be worth bidding unless
opener has at least six black cards, and third round control
in club, as well as the two aces.  That's quite a bit of
information to extract.

However, I may miss something.  Are there other good layouts?
