Acrylic vs Glass? Used tank

[GuppyHJD]

I am looking to get back into the hobby. Been reading ALOT and I came across a 90g acrylic tank setup - tank, stand, sump, skimmer, cheap LED lights - setup is $700. My concern is what are the pros/cons of an acrylic tank? I know they scratch easy. Other thoughts?

I know they scratch easy. Other thoughts?

That's really the only downside. They are lighter, stronger (no seams), more clear.

pros.
much lighter than glass easier to move
retains heat better (could also be a con)
clearer than regular glass
they do scratch easy but that makes it easier to buff the scratches out

cons.
scratch easy

They are way easier to drill holes for plumbing
They tend to bow with water pressure
