I could be wrong, but believe you are maxing out at 9 deflectors.

You are

Deflectors just keep going. Can have 10 or 11 stacks if you wish.
Each stack reduces the enemy firepower to 0.729 (or increases your d.p. by 37% if you wish to look at it that way - but that is probably where the maxing confusion comes in, because they sound like capacitors if you quote it that way).

Since BET pays double for w26 anti-matter pulveriser, I'd be looking at other options.

Hence the BMC, which was already mentioned.
Not saying use BMC or use AMP.
I'm just saying that whatever final R2 design you come up with, lose 1 stack of CPS for a BD.
MD is different. Needs different components (jets, sometimes comps for anti-chaff work, often with sappers as well) and has a lot less defence as a result.

Personally, while these nubs look great against beamers, imo they don't save chaff against suicidal BB attack (with battleboard manipulation they can hit even retreating chaff), and get eaten by retreating missile boats. What am I missing?

Quite right. Missing nothing.
That's the disadvantage of any R2 or R1 ship and why it becomes tempting to have some R3 speed 2.25 ships, or even 2.5 which can also retreat fire against R2 ships.
So whereas MD is usually just a wate of Bora (except for chaff killers), it might well become useful against certain BET designs.
But the fast R3 beam is more a specific ship for a specific enemy tactic, or two.
If you build your standard R2 beamer first, and the enemy goes for fast missile ships to counter you, then I'd say he was in more trouble than you are.
