Five-four in the majors and invitational is a hole in the system. Perhaps with the stiff queen it is fair to downgrade to a weak takeout. However if you are doing that you might choose Stayman rather than transfer for more flexibility. Here you would uncover a 4=4 spade fit. If partner should respond 2D then you can still bid 2H.
