I'm just worried how stupid plexi is going to look sitting above the T-Molding rather than flush.

Also just curious, you from SC?..

Offset the slot in the 3/4" MDF by 1/8" toward the side you plan to put the plexi on.  Then hit the edge with some black paint before you apply the T-Molding.  You'll never notice the 1/8" black edge below the molding (unless you are looking for it, of course) and your plexi will be seated in the molding like you want.

Do this... but I'd route off/bevel the bottom edge.
