percieved difficulty: vh++

easy start: x-wing (5) cols 4,9
skyscraper (7) cols 1,9: r4c8<>7
and coloring (7) box3,r5: r3c6<>7

not so easy: UR (45) with strong links 4 and 5: r4c2<>4, r6c8<>5

not easy at all:
"useless" w-wing (7)r4c2=r2c9 (via sl (5) col 8), transported in one of many possible ways (e.g. a,b... and u,v) to remove 7 from r6c5 (and r2c6).
Code:

+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 5       6       47c      | 23      347d    9        | 234     8       1        |
| 47b     2       9        | 135     8       13-7     | 34      6       57#      |
| 8       1       3        | 6       47v     25       | 24      57#u    9        |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 47a     57#     2        | 9       1       6        | 8       45#     3        |
| 3       9       8        | 45      2       47       | 6       1       57       |
| 6       45      1        | 8       3-7     357      | 9       47      2        |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 9       47      47       | 12      6       12       | 5       3       8        |
| 1       8       5        | 34      9       34       | 7       2       6        |
| 2       3       6        | 7       5       8        | 1       9       4        |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+

(I just hope I did not accidentally use an xy-wing this time)
This leads to a BUG+1 (r2c4=3).

The same can be done with the UR 45
Code:

 *-----------------------------------------------*
 | 5   6   *47  | 23  *347  9    | 234  8    1   |
 | 47  2    9   | 135  8    13-7 | 34   6   *57  |
 | 8   1    3   | 6    47   25-7 | 24  @57   9   |
 |--------------+----------------+---------------|
 | 47 #457  2   | 9    1    6    | 8   #457  3   |
 | 3   9    8   | 45   2   *47   | 6    1   *57  |
 | 6  #457  1   | 8    3-7  357  | 9   #457  2   |
 |--------------+----------------+---------------|
 | 9  @47  *47  | 12   6    12   | 5    3    8   |
 | 1   8    5   | 34   9    34   | 7    2    6   |
 | 2   3    6   | 7    5    8    | 1    9    4   |
 *-----------------------------------------------*

Either r7c2=4 or r3c8=5
r7c2=4 => r7c3=7 => r1c5=7
r3c8=5 => r2c9=7 => r5c6=7

Or, dealing only with <7>s in that 45 UR:
(7)r5c6=(7)r5c9 - UR[(7)r46c8=(7)r46c2] - (7)r4c1=(7)r2c1 - (7)r1c3=(7)r1c5
