It took me many steps to solve the puzzle. 
I've looked at ArkieTech's solution.
The first step...
[(7=5)r8c37-(5=9)r1c3-r1c9=9r7c9]-7r7c9
I am not so sophisticated.
I suppose it is a condensed version of this...
(7=2)r8c8 - (2=5)r8c3 - (5=9)r1c3 - (9)r1c9 = (9)r7c9 => r7c9 <> 7
It could also be achieved using one of those Type 3 Discontinuous Nice Loops (just sayin').
"If r7c9 is not 9 then r7c9 is not 7"
[r7c9]=9=[r1c9]-9-[r1c3]-5-[r8c3]-2-[r8c5]-7-[r7c9] => r7c9<>7

Phil, I think you meant r9c2 in the side chain.

I think it's OK. The 9 at r9c8 is false because the 9 at r7c9 is true. This allows the 9 at r9c3 to be true when the 9 at r9c1 is made false.

Actually, I meant to say r7c2. 
You have to do something about the 9 there to allow the conclusion that r9c3 is true. I thought that was the purpose of the side chain.
