Does acrylic scratch easier than glass?

Acrylic material are very lightweight with smooth corners that do not chip. Acrylic also offers a less distorted view than glass. On the downside, acrylic requires a stand with support beneath the entire length of the bottom, and it is easily scratched. Glass is easy to clean because it does not scratch readily, and requires support only along the outside edges. On the downside, glass is heavier and the edges can chip.
