Material can be said to be R+VM versus S+P at this point.

Of course, I would be remiss to explain why I evaluate this as about equal. Gote has clear structural advantage. If I had to play both sides of this position, my estimate is: 15% Sente win, 5% Gote win, 80% draw.
Gote can be losing immediately with 1 somewhat bad move. Sente can play inaccurately for a few moves and still not be much worse.
With lions still on the board, Sente would be 99%+ favorite to win. Alas, they are traded off.
Thank you for your analysis and explanation dax00.

There are so many move options, I am really not sure what lines may work... very interesting position I didn't have before in this size. I really enjoy this game

If gote plays very accurately, he is not worse. However, it is much easier for gote to be losing than sente. Solid control of tempi is required.
If both sides play perfectly, I assume it is a draw from here. Definitely all to play for.
