might also look like this
(5)r1c1 = (5)r9c1 - (5)r9c5 = (5)r8c5 - (5=8)r8c9 - (8=1)r2c9 - (1=3)r3c8 - (3=5)r3c6; r3c3 <> 5

Or, you could use the 358 XY-Wing in r1 and c8, transporting the <5> from r7c8 to r9c1 and eliminate <5> from r1c1.

For a one-trick pony, there's always:

Code:
W-Wing: [r3c3]<>1 [r3c3]=5 [r7c3]<>5 [r7c8]=5 [r5c8]<>5 [r5c8]=1  =>  [r3c8]<>1   -or-

M-Wing: [r3c3]<>5 [r3c3]=1 [r3c8]<>1 [r5c8]=1 [r5c8]<>5 [r7c8]=5  =>  [r7c3]<>5

Personally, I like the (3-step) traditional approach:

Code:
UR Type 1 [r46c37]              [r6c3]  <> 78
X-Wing    c38\r17               [r17c2] <> 8
XY-Wing   [r3c3]/[r2c1]+[r7c3]  [r1c3]  <> 8

I passed up the UR and used three XY-Wings, two of which included transports.
