If the overlay is properly applied, you would have to make a conscious effort to screw it up. Tha being said, I just feel safer with plexi. You can replace plexi if it gets damaged, but it's much more difficult to replace the overlay after it's been applied.

My vote is for no plexi if you can get away with it.
My arcade with the plexi has a good deal of dust specs under it that won't clean up... starting to drive me crazy. (I'm the only one who notices.)

I got my CP from mame marquees and its held up very well for the year and 1/2 i've had it. it gets almost daily use and has shown no wear yet.

Well if mine hadn't been covered in plexi, it would have been destroyed. Then again, mine was in a frat house.
