Marty, I like yours better. Here is mine:
xy-wing 719 then
Code:

 *--------------------------------------------------------------------*
 An m-wing?
(1=7)r1c5-(7)r4c5=(7-9)r4c2=(9)r6c2-(9=1)r6c7-(1=7)r1c7

Three steps.

(9=5)r8c6 - UR12[(5)r3c6 = (7)r2c6]r23c26 - (7)r1c5 = (7)r1c7 - (7=9)r8c7; r8c259<>9,
UR12 in r23c26 with x-wing 2 deleted 1 in r23c6
xy-wing -127 with vertex in r2c6 completes the puzzle.

After reading the post by Marty, I realize my first step was not useful, but I did enjoy finding it.

Ted
