*IF* I were to allow Double Defense as an advantage at all I would only allow it to be used once per turn. ...
Altered time rate already allows a character to (take a turn, perhaps to all out attack) and then all out defend, giving you two defenses against almost any attack. Something that just gave two defenses is presumably not as valuable. I agree it is not part of extra attack or dual wielding however - pay for it separately. 25 pts passes my gut check.
