I think what it will all boil down to is personal preference and how you are with your maintenance, I swore I would never have another acrylic tank yet here I am, VERY happy with mine, I do find it is easier to clean but I am cleaning more frequent, I am only doing a FOWLR and I am not so sure I would use acrylic for a reef as scraping coraline could prove more damaging. I have successfully buffed out a few minor scratches both on the inside and outside. Comparitively speaking I feel this tank at 5 years old looks as good as or better than any glass tank I have had set up for the same amount of time and will only be better as it ages (never have to deal with discolored or peeling silicone in the corners)
