Lexan vs Plexiglass



<x-charset iso-8859-1>>Um, which one scratches really easily. Methinks it is the lexan, actually.
Why
>is that stuff prefferred and what consitutes the extra cost?


Lexan is *much* tougher than plexiglass...   it will still scratch, but
won't crack as easily.  If you've ever seen those clear snowplows on the
front of trucks, those are made out of Lexan.

In my experience, plexiglass will crack way too easily with any sort of
impact (stone chips, etc).  It is also sometimes difficult to drill a hole
through without causing it to crack.

Hope this helps

lots of stuff (some with plexiglass windows.. hehe)
