Some nutters at this table - 3 of them in fact. The 3S bidder is a mild nutter; the 5S bidder is a total nutter. The third nutter? The one who was thinking about bidding 3NT over 3S. :lol:

I agree x 3!

6♠ would be 500 only

Isn't it 800, assumng that they crash the heart honours? You said in your original post that we were at unfavourable.

It's easy to say this seeing all four hands, but I think partner should lead a diamond, not a heart. If dummy's bidding is based on a strong side suit, it's likely to be hearts, not diamonds.
