I thought this one was pretty easy for a hard sudoku until I got to the end and realized the last four spots can be filled up with [1,8],[8,1] or [8,1],[1,8]

My attention to detail stinks, have I screwed up somewhere?

yes, e.g. i see you have no 3 in column 2 nor in box 4

Oops, two fours in column 2. Yes, that would be a problem. Sigh, let me start over...
