If you really need fast rise times and wide copper ribbons, these can be
manufactured with the MMC method as well, at
a quite reduced price from your average commercially bought pulse cap (in
the thousands of dollars, usually).
Finn Hammer has just such a cap, but I forgot where his website is.  The
performance of multi-mini caps is all but
indistinguishable from commercial pulse caps when many strings are wired in
parallel.  Essentially, the individual
components that make up an MMC *are* high performance pulse capacitors,
rated for TC service--they happen to be less
expensive because they are manufactured in large quantities, not custom
made, as was the case with larger TC rated
pulse caps.
