I think even that black's 6... nb6 after c4 is dubious. 7. c5! and the knight must go back to d7 (d5 is unsound according to teory)
Qxd5 in second move isn't good. 3. nc3! and the queen must move again. what was the point?
And blunder king, stockfish is only 3400 right now. it grews with cirka 30 points per year, so it wil be 3900 for under twenty years
"3. nc3! and the queen must move again. what was the point?"
To activate the queen?
And you are acting like after 3.Nc3 its a +3
The easiest way to check which line is better is to go to Masters Database, 1 year and check whats played more frequently.
And guess what? Qxd5 is played more than 4x times (compared to Nf6)
The winrates: Qxd5- 35% White wins 40% draws 24% black wins
Nf6: 37% White wins 37% draws 25% black wins
Qxd5 is the more popular choice, and has better results for black.
So what should you choose?
Also, in some Nf6 lines its a +0.8
Modern scandinavian isnt bad, but its very weak if you don't know theory.
Qxd5 is simpler in every way possible
