(1) 5-stars for all the effort to make that path to be the final solution! (2) I also agree that this level is not too difficult, once you go that way, virtually you will never get a 2-off.
5 tries :p But the only reason I got this so quickly was because I actually have a level in my unpublisheds that feature exactly the same sort of trick, but not so elegantly constructed. This is cleverly made, well done.
I found it easy. A lot easier than some of the levels rated with less points, on which I am still stuck! I was done in 62 tries (am used to be about 300), and had no 2 off (although I am a specialist of remaining stuck 2 off)... Fun but not real challenge.
I liked it very much. To my eyes, there is only one real 2 steps cut to be found, consisting of choosing what to do first at a certain lock. But for the rest... The few variants possible all lead to same amount, so that it is pretty rapidly clear where to focus on.
Very well designed level with good cuts. I was 2 moves short and saved them in a very unexpected way.
I wish you hadn't gone through and turned every unmovable wall into an unmovable movable though!
