46 STM. Long CMLL, but not bad overall.

And then looked for insertions, but I don't have time.

B R B R' B U2 F' L.F U2 B D F' [Leaving three corners, or with the insertion included; CMLL+LSE]

.=L2 U' R' U L2 U' R U

Rouxesque enough?

Edit: Apparently doing CMLL is better, but requires two insertions, and I couldn't be bothered:

R2 U2 [@1] B2 L U R' F2 R F B2 R D R D' R' F'
Insert at @1: U' D L2 U D' B2
After the 1st insertion: R2 U D L2 U D' L U R' F2 R [@2] F B2 R D R D' R' F'
Insert at @2: R' F2 B2 L B' L' F2 B2 R B
Fewest moves: 24. 8 moves cancelled
The final solution: R2 U D L2 U D' L U R' B2 L B' L' F2 B2 R B' F R D R D' R' F'

I looked a jarcs solution for FB, then modified it. Does that count as cheating?

45 STM.

Pretty good start, long LSE. So here is a better LSE after a little search:
U' M U' M' U' M U' M' U' M' U2 M U' (13)

Or if the second block ended with r' instead of R' (although we lose the cancellation):
U2 M U' M' U' M U' M U2 M2 U' M' (12)

Bad 2-Look CMLL is bad but the case on lubixcube.com's cmlls has the same movecount. Huh.
Also It was a sub 20 solve but stupid Cstimer didn't stop so its a 20.01
