A fun puzzle Ravel!
I am not sure that I have ever worked on a puzzle before that basics did not solve a single cell (or I just blew it). I used a finned x-wing, coloring, 2 URs, an x-wing and finally a Bug+1 to complete the puzzle. I would like to do it again to search for other/shorter solutions.

I started off with an ER on <5> that did a lot of damage by getting rid of the <5> in R1C5.
Then another ER on <4>.
Then two UR's - a Type 1 and Type 4.
A Good One Indeed !!! |

I started off with Craig's ER which opened up a triple in box 2, which made some progress, including exposing a Type 1 UR.
Then two more ERs exposed a Type 4 UR which led to an XY-Wing with pincer coloring, which reduced the grid to a BUG+1. |

I just needed basics after the Type 4. Though it's possible I erred after I ER'ed and UR'ed.
