 Look at AUR(23)r79c68 => one of [(5)r79c8, (8)r7c8] must be true.
 AUR(23)r79c68:(5)r79c8=(8)r7c8-(8=5)r2c8-(25=9)r2c12-(9)r9c1=(9)r9c7 => r9c7<>5, STTE

				| ttt, great to see you. Last I heard you were talking about "retirement," so I was worried. It's not that easy for the great ones to retire (right, Danny?) 
 My solution happens to be in the same neighborhood as yours, ttt.

 1) AUR(56)r78c49 => r78c9<>5

				| I can't follow the notation, but I noticed the 23 UR with the 58 pseudo cell but didn't use it. 
 I did use:
 
 UR (56) with 49 pseudo cell
 Type 6 UR (25)
 DP (57-78-58)
 W-Wing (58), flightless, with pincer transport
 M-Wing (59)

				| Well, encouraged by Wapiti's love of fish and also as we seem to have at least two almost based solutions covered, how about a little two step: 
 1)Finned swordfish on 5s  (with fin at r9c8) which means r7c9 and r8c79 <>5
 2)(25-4)r1c7=(4-9)r3c9=(9-8)r2c7=(8-4)r8c7=(4)r1c7; r1c7=4

 Yes, but didn't know it had a formal name! Thanks
 
 I have found more generic 'almost xy-wings' recently - but I can see with all the subsets in the column it is a wxyz-wing.
 
 Continuing to learn!
