I'm honored to have one of my variants chosen for SVS, and happy to say that I solved this without bifurcating. Thanks for the great puzzle!

Don't be scared off by the limited number of clues in the bottom half of the grid! This one contains some very trivial and nice logic. It is really worth the try! ;-)
I have written in a hidden comment where to look for those who needed a guess here and/or there. :=> that's not necessary.
