Precision as it was originally intended is too meek for me. One can make Precision more agressive and free the 2 bid. Notice that the 1
bid is natural unless it is a maximum. I think the inclusion of the singleton diamond hands into the 1NT opening bid is a small sacrifice.
The opening bid structure could for example look like this:
