Hello all, enjoy the puzzle. Thinking one step would not be enough here. But I have been wrong before...

Note that you can remove the 8 from r5c5 of Tom's initial grid due to the locked candidates in box 6. (Warning: The following solution is not pretty!)

4r3c9 - [(4=7*)r6c9 -r3c5] = 4*r2c4 - (4=1*)r6c4 - (1=6)r1c4 - (4*6=5)r9c4 - (5=4)r9c6 - (1*47*=9)r6c6 - (7*9=4)r6c1 - r4c3 = r9c3 contradiction (i.e. 4r9c36) => r3c9 <> 4; stte.

Heh heh, lots of stuff in this one. Even spotted a pair of Jellyfish, one finned and one regular. Can be bypassed of course.
