neither choice, actually

after line logic, look at the 4 clues in c10-11
they can not both go into the lower section (r7-10) due to there only being ones in those rows, so at least one of them (or both) has to go into the upper section (r1-4)

thus you can make r2-3c11-12 black and it solves out with line logic

no guessing

Thanks, Bugaboo. I thought it was there. I kept on trying to get rid of alternate solutions.
