The biggest drawback of reversed Gazzilli is the handling of 16-17HCP hands opposite a weak hand ...

I've been trying to adapt it to my methods (strong 2 suited gazzilli is 17+), and I am also having drawbacks with 12-16 opener opposite a 9/10 hand. With an opening 12-16 [x5]x4 hand rebidding 2♣ I play 2♦ asks, and opener can distinguish between 12-14 and 15-16. The 9/10 responder can bid game after the 15/16 is shown, or sign off in 2M after 12-14.

But in reversed gazzilli if the 2M rebid is wide 12-16 and [x5]x4, then the 9/10 responder is stuck. Finding the game is impossible.

So I can't play it. Free's and my objections also apply (probably) to a semi-forcing NT (whatever that is).
