Lines in the Sand

Rules:
1) Mean-Latin Square rules apply: Place 8 of the digits 0-8 in every row and column once each (i.e, one of the digits will never appear on the grid).
2) Global Entropy: Each 2x2 set of cells must contain a low digit (from 0,1,2), a middle digit (from 3,4,5) and a high digit (from 6,7,8).
3) Diamonds sit between 4 cells that have unique digits, and indicate their sum.
4) Palindromes: Digits along a golden line read the same backwards and forwards.

really fun and relaxing. it has an interesting aura of inevitability - when solving you can feel like it only takes one good digit to collapse, but in my opinion it's not an easy puzzle
.proxz14's response: Glad to hear you've enjoyed the puzzle! As far as difficulty goes I've been historically bad at estimating difficult levels for my puzzles, if this one ends up at 3 instead of 2 I won't be surprised.
