I was wondering if you could finish the defense tests by testing K2, Y2, and D2 (I've found some success with this last one). I would do them myself but I don't have as many pieces and only have access to the blue Hasbro stadium.
I have not been able to find Y2 yet (australia is very slow to get releases especially as far north as I live). I intend to include K2 at some point but from my personal experience D2 is to prone to bursting to be very effective defensively but if I have time I will include it. EDIT: D2 forms a very tight fitting combo with press as tight as I have ever seen in a hasbro combo. It is basically unburstable!

I personally found Press to be my favourite driver for pure defense as it could be launched full power without fearing being bursted. Press has a very tight spring mechanism and easily has the best burst defense of all the defensive drivers. I found defense to be a close second and then needle. I'm not sure why but survive performed really bad for me in these tests it just seemed too easy to burst, especially on a layer that was easier to burst, like unicrest. I only just got a new revolve yesterday as my old one became worn down (which is why only 1 test included revolve) but it didn't appear the best defensively.
