Hmmm.  I've been overrating a Terry (Panasonic) MMC
for about 5 years now of quite frequent coil use.  No
problem.  No diminished capacitance, no decreased arc
length.  I have a maxwell.  It works fine, but no
better than the MMC, in fact the longest arcs were
measured during an MMC run.

What is your evidence for the above statement
regarding overrating MMC's?  I would like to see your
web page, and/or possibly read your coil specs.  What
about data?  Computer simulations.....arc lengths?

Coilers on this list know to a high degree of
certainty (due to failure mode testing) that MMC's
tend to survive being pushed somewhat beyond their
ratings.  You may benefit from a little more reading
on this subject.
