I did both.  I took the position before Rda8 (where DB liked b5 until the
last minute) and ran it.  I then ran the position after Rda8 where Crafty
would play Bxe5 almost instantly and never changed it's mind.  The score
was .8 for b5 and 1.0 for Bxe5.  I concluded that either move for black is
about as good as the other, based only on the score...
