Acrylic vs glass

[Adamson]

Acrylic is way nicer but also much more expensive.

I honestly like glass. Easier to maintain. Cheaper. Doesn't wear down in time.

Acrylic for A & B.
Glass for C.

I trust an acrylic weld over silicone any day and the clarity is much better than glass (although, low iron "Starfire" glass might come close)...but the downside of acrylic is that it does scratch pretty easily and although you can buff them out, it's a royal PITA.

On anything over 55G, I like acrylic.

I totally agree. I have had both my whole life and although acrylic is a nicer look and weigh less, the scratches are a huge downside. I feel like I scratch my 600 by just looking at it, can't stare too hard!
