Keith,
since you said it was a little harder, I went straight to medusa.
I used the 46 pair in box 3 as starting numbers to color. and you can see that the 6 in r2c1 sees both a red and a green 6 and can be eliminated. this should solve the puzzle.

Norm,

I did not examine your coloring in detail. but there is a W-wing in R12 that solves the puzzle.

The pair is <69> in R12. The strong link is <6> in C8. Take out <9> in R1C2 and R2C6, the puzzle is toast.

I think your coloring gets at the same cells.

By the way, my simplified grid is:
Code:
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
| 3     469   7     | 1     8     69    | 2     46    5     |
| 69    2     1     | 456   7     569   | 8     46    3     |
| 8     5     46    | 2     346   36    | 7     1     9     |
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
| 1567  1468  2468  | 9     1246  1567  | 15    3     268   |
| 1567  168   9     | 3567  1236  13567 | 4     57    268   |
| 1567  3     246   | 4567  1246  8     | 159   579   26    |
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
| 2     7     56    | 36    369   4     | 359   8     1     |
| 19    189   3     | 78    5     17    | 6     2     4     |
| 4     168   568   | 368   1369  2     | 359   59    7     |
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+

Ditto here on the W-Wing, although I also played one ER.

Although I found a coloring elimination (removes 4 from r4c5 r6c3) first, I still needed that same w-wing to crack the puzzle.
