Umm... Plexiglass is a brand name acrylic. So acrylic is no more scratch resistent than Plexi. Unless Home Depot sells some cheap ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- pretending to be Plexi.

Plixiglass is a brand that makes lexan.  I dont think my make acrylic though.
Knievel:
As was said Plexiglass is a brand name like Kleenex, it's an acrylic.
Lexan is actually also just a brand name, it's a polycarbonate.

Acrylic = Plexiglas, Perspex, Optiplex, Lucite(what I use), etc.

Acrylic is more resistant to scratches and is therefore the obvious choice for covering a CP. The only disadvantage is that it can crack easier when you're drilling it.

Right, it's harder, which would make it more scratch-resistant.
