Speedsolve solution (I'd probably do ZZ here, but I did Roux anyway):

r2 r B' // F2B-2 (3/9)

40/11.80 = 3.39 TPS.
My F2B-1 solutions are... unique

38 moves.

what's this step called?

I call it EP, but you could probably call it L4E too. Or PL4E. Or PLL.

SB - I know, it's long

Actually 15 moves for SB is pretty decent.

O! That's fine. Thought it should be shorter.
