My partner and I play sometimes Precision and sometimes hacked-up standard.
Usually, 2D is not natural, however (as C.C. Wei might say, 2D as a 
pre-empt is no one's idea of a nuclear weapon).  If you learn all of
the sequences over a straight-Precision 2D, it can be a very powerful
bid.  In one tourney, I shaded values and opened it, and the opponents
(even after hearing what kind of hand I had) entered the bidding and
bought the contract (the farm came later).  Our 2D promises 1 or zero
diamonds and 444 or 435 or 345 in the other suits (or 445).  My partner led
his Ace of Diamonds, I discarded, and he gave me a Diamond ruff.
That was fun.
There is a really good book on the system by Terence Reese.  I recommend
it highly.
