Thanks to Tallcat, PulverizingPancake, Niverio, and pseudonum for testing :)
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Quadruples: The digits in white circles must appear in at least one of the four cells touching the circle.
Between lines: Digits on a line connecting two circled cells must be between the digits in those circles (i.e. the digit in one circle is greater than all digits on the line, while the digit in the other circle is smaller than all digits on the line).

Solution code: Row 5 left to right followed by column 5 top to bottom

@Mr.Menace thank you! The symmetry was the most important aspect to me when setting this puzzle. I am glad it is pretty :)
@Qodec I loved watching your live solve and the utter madness it ensued in you and others!
