The Defender Soul is found in the Throne of Want which requires going through enough of the game to get the King's Ring.

In comparision, the Mirror Knight Soul is found in Drangleic Castle.

Even if it is inferior, it is a hell of a lot easier to get, especially if you like taking on TD/TW late in the game.
