One way of deciding the difficulty of a puzzle is to ask "what is there to 'bite' on".
here, you can get 10 digits, and restrict candidates for about twice as many cells, but that exhausts the clues, i.e you hit a brick wall.
Now, MAYBE there are advanced techniques that allow an expert to solve this, but it's definitely NOT level 2.

Very nice puzzle. Great debut :) It's smooth but quite approachable. 2* difficulty may be more apt.
