Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- The 3 lines are palindromes i.e. they read the same in both directions.
- The 2 cages are exact clones of each other.
- Any < between two cells points to the smaller digit.
Please note that the circle in R3C3 was only added for aesthetic reasons.

gave me some trouble, but that's the nature of these large palindromes, I was chasing two 'different' colours, but were actually the same one...

Very nice puzzle, I normally find really long palindromes to be more of a chore than anything else but I enjoyed this one.
And it happens to be my 600 LMD solve, so thanks for the mini internet milestone.
A: Many thanks and congratulations on this achievement!
