I feel that white is quite comfortable and ahead in this game black stones are very centered around two (small areas) on the board. Two has two potentially large corners, and more potential across the board.]WL[538.0]W[cn] ;BL[3.0]B[sc] ;C[3) do you think it was a good decision to play away from the top right and defend here?

Or is it an endgame move? My itention was to take points (with the benefit of settling the the top left group). At this point I felt as if all my groups were stable enough.

By how much are you ahead or behind? If it was an equal match I would say I'm comfortably ahead, esp. on certain point.
