Easier to shape, depending on the tools you have on hand.

So no advantage for us consumers? Few ounces don't matter

High impact strength vs. low scratch resistance and softening/melting temperature. Give me rubber-mounted/sealed glass anyday! Broken vs scratched-up/heat-distorted- not much real difference. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
