W-Wing <47> with strong link in 7's column 8 eliminating 4 in r1c5 solves the puzzle in one step.

An XY-Wing on 473 was a one-stepper as well.

Marty, that's how I did it too.
But I was very glad just to get a VH puzzle -- first one since Nov. 14!

Re the dearth of VH's lately - I recall Marty saying that they occur one in four on average, so I did a quick check of the last one hundred days:
VH = 24
H = 32
M = 30
E = 14

Looks like you were right Marty! Interesting that there are fewer Easy puzzles and the gap seems to made up with Ms and Hs.

For November to date (today's is an M by the way, for those who haven't seen it yet):
VH = 5
H = 7
M = 8
E = 4

By the law of averages we're due for at least 2, if not 3, VHs before month's end. But then Murphy always gets last say. Don't you just love statistics!
