My main display tank, a glass one, has been up for 20 years. For all the cleanings it needed over the years I can only imagine what it would look like if it was acrylic. Right now I would have a tough time finding a single scratch in the glass if you asked me and monthly I have to use a razor blade at times to get it clean enough. Just look at the used acrylic for sale, they talk about the scratches, or they are hiding them from you.....
My big issue with glass tanks was always the corner seams. Either I ended up with a band of coraline next to the silicone seal or a bunch of razor blade nibbles into the seal.
