Diagonal buddies 2

I hope you enjoy it.
Any comments and ratings are highly appreciated.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
A circle in a cell indicates that the digit n in that cell must appear n cells away in one of the cells diagonals in one or two directions. All cells where this is occuring are marked with a circle.
Two dominos or quadruples that are marked with a dot of the same color must sum to the same total. The two sums can but don't have to contain the same digits. Not all dominos and quadruples fulfilling this requirement are marked.
This example shows how the rules work.
Solution code: Row 5 and column 5

There is a nice flow of logic in this puzzle. Well constructed.

Changed the nuance of the blue dots to differentiate it from the black dots.

*Hint
Some coloring at the end of the puzzle might help :-)

So I messed up again. Unfortunately that seems to happen a lot. I actually linked the wrong puzzle before. Amazingly it still got 2 solves.
Now the link is proper and leads to the right puzzle that has been displayed from the start.

Changed the F-puzzle link to match the puzzle more accurately.

Clarified the rules.
Thank you Bankey for pointing out the uncertainties.

The rule does not clarify whether a circled digit n can have more then 1 "mirror" digit in a diagonal position. The example gives only non-duplicate pairs and has even number of circles, whereas the puzzle has odd number of circles (25). Please clarify.
*** A digit can mirror in two directions.
Thanks for clarifying, PetLov. I had meanwhile figured that out with some logic. :-) Thanks, again.
