Its not so much as a better choice capacitor-wise, but whats a better
choice for your budget.
The Maxwell capacitors, in my opinion, are the superior capacitor (that
is if they are the high-end
high PRR (pulse rep-rate) capacitors.  But they are expensive and if
they fail, you are pretty much screwed.
MMCs on the other hand are relatively inexpensive, and if one fails,
they can be easily, quickly, and economically
repaired.

   I'm wondering what is the opinion of the experienced coilers and
experts.
Which is the better choice for a TC tank cap, an MMC of CDE 942Cs or
commercial pulse cap such as Maxwell.
