Just that it's not a classic style.  My current build has all seimitsu, but it leans towards the modern fighters and shmups. 
If I were doing a cab for classics, I wouldn't dream of using anything but concave buttons.

But I wouldn't class Defender as particlularly rapid fire (I don't need to tense/vibrate my hand) and all 3 buttons are fully capable of getting off 4 shots on the screen.  This is where the Defender pros join in say they get a 4shot burst of in half a screen  :notworthy:

This is my speedtester http://www.codeskulptor.org/#user8-S7RcwY5zDF-7.py  I do about 100ms-120ms on all buttons.

Perhaps, but you better be able to put those in a tight group, and do it often.  Everyone has a different style of play, but I've always found that laying down a wall of fire  in areas where no humans are being nabbed is important, and 4 shots in half the screen isn't going to cut it, unless you can do the same in the other half as well :).

Also, you should be able to get better than that with the timing, on a properly tuned leaf and a little practice.

Maybe we are at cross purposes, by half a screen I meant half the distance from the ship to side of the screen. Ive seen a few videos of the pro's and they don't appear to be firing much faster. Now I'm going to have to download the videos and analyse the fire rates.  :-\

I was hoping people would post their firing speeds.

Here's a 4 burst timer http://www.codeskulptor.org/#user8-S7RcwY5zDF-8.py

Attached is a screen grab of my best time with your program and a CLASSX with the True-Leaf switch.

Also keep in mind that Defender is as much a test of endurance as anything else.  The easier it is to rip off those shots, the better you will do over the course of the game, as you will be doing it a lot.

I will do that now for my 4way as its easy.

But I'm also thinking about Robotron 8ways, which is more complicated when tweaking.

Wow that's seriously quick.

But before we go too far. The program is not quality tested, and it's possible the clock slows down on slower hardware, busy browsers, I don't realy know  :-[    Anyone using it should press at medium speed (but more than 1 per second) for a timed period (say 20s) just to test the timer.

Anyway, was that using a technique you could do all day? I can fire faster (than 100ms) if I tense my hand and sort of vibrate it, but couldn't do that for long.
