This one has a long path, for me.

A fun three step solution..........

#1: AUR(37)r12c15 external sis: r6c1=3,r6c5=7; r6c9<>3, r2c5<>7, r6c1<>7
#2: Type 1 UR(38)r13c27; r1c2<>38 which opens a
#3: axy-wing(27-3) vertex (27)r1c2 with fin (7)r5c2; r3c2<>3
If fin is true: (7)r5c2-(7=8)r4c1-r4c2=(8)r3c2;

There's a nice anp/xy-chain that cracks it...
Code:
anp(26=7)r76c6 - (7=3)r6c8 - (3=4)r7c8 - (4=2)r7c7 - (2=6)r7c5 ; r13c5<>6

From reducing my solver's solution: two-stepper

Code:

 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 # 75 eliminations remain

extraneous: X-Wing, XY-Wing, XYZ-Wing, UR Type 1

 r3c1    2-String Kite                   <> 6    r6c5

 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 # 74 eliminations remain

W-Wing: (2=6)r6c6 - r6c1 = r1c1 - r3c3 = r3c5 - (6=2)r7c5  =>  r6c5,r8c6<>2

The same cells and value used for the Kite are also used by the W-Wing. In fact, this could be considered a single-stepper if you include the elimination from the embedded Kite among the eliminations for the W-Wing.
