    Glass £50, perspex / acrylic £40ish

    Any particular benefits of either I'm missing ?

    Glass. Never seen perspex that didn't fade/dull/haze over time.

      If safety is concern choose perspex. Otherwise, glass.

        I'm seeing a pattern. Looks like it's going to be glass

          Glass ordered and should be ready by end of play today which I thought was quick!

          Right, have to remind myself of glazing rules and fitting...
