This double was not pure penalty. Give partner xxxx xx xx Kxxxx, and he bids 3♣, and aren't we going to be delighted with that?
If the double were always going to be passed, I'd agree with andy and phil but they seem to ignore the other, real, upside to the call.

I don't see how you make 3♣ opposite that unless pard has the spade nine (West rates to be 5251), in which case Two Spades is certainly going down. I think any plus score will score well, and the chances of both contracts making is negligible.
