Taking Sides (lockout Lines)

Taking Sides is a Multi Constraint Puzzle utilizing Lockout Lines, Between Lines, Arrows and Whisper lines.

Arrows - Digits on the Arrows sum to the number in the bulb
Between Lines - Digits on the line must fall between the digits in the end circles.
Whisper Lines - Adjacent Digits on the lines must differ by 5. (There are two, 3-cell Whipser lines in col 5. The upper line includes the lockout diamond.)
Lockout Lines - Digits in directly connected Diamonds must differ by 4 or more and may not be repeated on the line. Digits on a line must fall 'outside' the range defined by their diamonds. Line digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
