The Mk2 gives you lots of greens, but no increase in durability. PTL would be a great defensive boost if the Defender had an Evade action. Alas.
PTL is a great offensive upgrade for the Defender- and offensive upgrades can be thought of as defensive upgrades, given the right exchange rate.
PTL will allow you to barrel roll and focus, that is a decent defence.

Or Target Lock and Focus (based on the good old adage that the best defense is a good offense...).
I think the PS 1 defenders will be zipping around the board, staying at range 3. They will be able to join the Ring around the Rosie of the Big ship and keep up with them now. It's a great fix for just 1 point. I'm looking forward to using my shuttle defenders list again.
Two PS 1 Defenders, TWIE, Ion cannons.
With Shuttle and Vader,
A 1 pt upgrade that's just not good enough,who would have thought ?
It's kinda funny how for some 1 pt is to much to spend on a ship they don't even fly. With all the stress inducing list around as well as debris for one point this is a pretty good upgrade. Really this gives the option to have more flexibility in your flying and that in itself is a big advantage aside from the damage output or reduction.
Sure an upgrade that would be a free title that give an extra evade or free auto evade or better damage output reliability would be great. But I think this upgrade needs a good run before we jump the gun. I know for myself that I see this as a cheep upgrade that opens the door for some flexibility to use a ship that I think is cool and just got over looked by the masses because the phantom was over the top.
Going defensive is not a game winning strategy, ps8 Rexler with TL to modify dice and focus to flip hits is gonna lay the smack down on big ships.
The insanity of fat Han very much disagrees with you.

Well, for a ship that most think is greatly overpriced, an upgrade that costs 1 point is not nearly as good as say, the one the Advanced is getting, which arguably makes the ship 4 points cheaper(by giving it a free upgrade of 4 points or less, or a 5 point upgrade for only 1 point).

Why, is Fat Han immune to Rexler's crit-flipping antics or something?

He means the defensive power or Fat Han is what makes it dominant as a "game winning strategy"

The Defender's situation was nowhere near as dire as the TIE advanced. That ship was borderline unplayable before TIE/x1.

aye
the single most charitable description of a pre TIE/x1 Advance is "a really sh*tty imperial A-wing"
the defender is, at least, its own thing

Well, an A-Wing with a worse dial and a Hull Upgrade for +4 points
