A hidden pair move unlocks it... seem to be a powerful technique on harder puzzles.
Code:
 *----------------------------------------------------------------------*
 | 1      5      4      | 9      8      2      | 6        7      3      |

 | 8      149    1679   | 47     2      147    | 1457     3      156    |
 | 67     3      167    | 5      9      17(48) | 17(48)-2 26     16(8)  |

 | 3      19     1679   | 2      157    178    | 1589     4      1568   |
 | 46     8      5      | 36     134    9      | (12)     26     7      |
 *----------------------------------------------------------------------*

Marty: Congratulations on this BBDB !!!

Peter: Yes, I'm always surprised at how a Subset can crack so many puzzles. One of these days, I'm going to add it to my solver so I don't have to manually transform a network into something like ...

(via my solver) How about?

Code:
 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 |  1      5      4      |  9      8      2      |  6      7      3      |
 |  2      7      8      |  1      6      3      |  59     59     4      |
 |  9      6      3      |  47     47     5      |  18     18     2      |
 |-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------|
 |  8      149    1679   |  47     2      147    |  1457   3      156    |
 |  67     3      167    |  5      9      1478   |  12478  26     168    |
 |  5      14     2      |  38     1347   6      |  1478   18     9      |
 |-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------|
 |  467    2      1679   |  68     1457   1478   |  3      59     1568   |
 |  3      19     1679   |  2      157    178    |  1589   4      1568   |
 |  46     8      5      |  36     134    9      |  12     26     7      |
 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 # 77 eliminations remain

(8=2)r5c9138 - (2=6)r9c8 - (6=3)r9c4 - (3=8)r6c4  =>  r6c78<>8
