				I had a similar solution:
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  | A type 6 UR solves R3C5, R6C4 as 2.  A skyscraper on 7 solves R3C4 as 1. | 	  
 
 
The last elimination can also be deduced from the 58 UR.

				A simpler "simple" move...?   
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  | xy-wing(18-9) with als pivot ; (9=1)r3c8 - als(1278)r369c4[(1)r3c4=(8)r9c4] - (8=9)r9c7 ; r1c7<>9, r8c8<>9 |

				| R3c4 can be solved =1 by a Finned X-Wing on 7 which overlaps the Type 6. |

and just to compliment your xy-wing with als.
 
here is a xy-wing with UR pivot (doesn't solve puzzle)
 
 
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  +------------+-------------------+----------------+
 
| 2   6   79 | 137    47     347 | 89  1589  58-9 |
 
| 4   8   1  | 6      9      5   | 3   7     2    |
 
| 3   79  5  | (127)  (27)   8   | 4   (19)  6    |
 
+------------+-------------------+----------------+
 
| 5   3   4  | 9      8      1   | 6   2     7    |
 
| 79  2   6  | 5      3      47  | 1   8-9   489  |
 
| 79  1   8  | (27)   (247)  6   | 5   3     (49) |
 
+------------+-------------------+----------------+
 
| 8   79  3  | 4      5      79  | 2   6     1    |
 
| 6   4   2  | 38     1      39  | 7   589   589  |
 
| 1   5   79 | 78     6      2   | 89  4     3    |
 
+------------+-------------------+----------------+ | 	  
 
 
(9=1)r3c8 - UR27[(1)r3c4 = (4)r6c5] - (4=9)r6c9; r5c8 and r1c9 <> 9 |
