I needed two xy-wings. Anyone find a single-step solution?

After basics, coloring didn't turn up anything really useful (one measly r5c6<>7), but then I found an xyz-wing (67-678-78 col 9, box 6; r6c9<>7) that solved the puzzle.

Here is the grid after basics.
6-7-9 is the 1st xy-wing. It removes all the 7s in c6 in box 5
4-6-7 is the other xy-wing opened up from the first xy-wing.
Where is the x-y-z wing in box 6?

Code:

+-----------+--------------+----------------+
| 5 4   3   | 2   8   67   | 1   9    67    |
| 2 16  9   | 5   347 1367 | 46  3478 34678 |
| 7 8   16  | 69  34  169  | 2   34   5     |
+-----------+--------------+----------------+
| 3 567 4   | 79  1   5789 | 56  2    678   |
| 1 567 568 | 347 2   3578 | 456 478  9     |
| 9 2   58  | 47  6   578  | 3   1    478   |
+-----------+--------------+----------------+
| 4 9   2   | 367 37  367  | 8   5    1     |
| 6 15  15  | 8   9   2    | 7   34   34    |
| 8 3   7   | 1   5   4    | 9   6    2     |
+-----------+--------------+----------------+

XY-Wing {679} with pivot{69} in r3c4 eliminating the 7's in BLOCK5c6. To avoid the DP in the resulting UR{5,8} in BLOCK4&5, 6 should be eliminated in r3c3. This solves the puzzle.

I found a finned x-wing on <7>, but then saw the xyz-wing on <368> and realized it lead to the same deletions as the finned x-wing but also solved the puzzle.

Was away for this one - so surprised no one cited the xyz wing on <678> as a one-stepper. The elimination knocks off 2 rows of 7s in Box 5 - then it's curtains.
