You also need to account for time. Both IC and OOC. 2200 OM is a lot to drop on a Power all at once... but 600? Easy. Then over the next 4 levels, setting aside another 800 is again easier than dropping 2200 all at once.
IC, you can only use Regen/Healing at the end of your post. You drop a Super Defense as soon as you get targetted by an attack. A Defence is also effective when you're at full health, whereas Regen is not. You have to take a hit before you can Regen, and if the fight is done where damage is only applies to HP after its over, then it's the Judge's call whether they'll allow your Regen to apply to the end tally, though I doubt it'll ever be an issue.
Lastly, and this may not be in the rules, but Defences can save you from non-damaging Utilities and Attacks. Regen cannot.
In short, yes; Regen is more effective at damage control than a Defence. But they each have their strengths over the other and just looking at them from a single angle is limiting yourself.
