 Trying this potential DP on 78, which some call BUG Lite. There are five possibilities. The 1s in band 1 set r1c7<>1. The 1s in band 3 set r9c9<>1. So with r1c7 and r9c9=7, r7c7<>7=8. The other possibility is 5 in r2c5 which proves 8 in r8c5; r8c7<>8.
 
 Also a simple W-Wing on 17 with SL 7 in r7; r1c2, r2c8<>1.
 
 Note: the posted grid can be reduced via the 178 triple in r1.

 That's fun in my book! Good one. We're gonna have to count you among the "some" if you keep that up

 Agree, it's fun, but don't hold your breath waiting for me to join the "some" group. I despise the term.
