Acrylic v Sapphire glass?

Does the forum have an opinion on which is better? I'm new to this, but have only owned watches with sapphire but am considering getting a Monaco which appears to have the plastic glass? Do these scratch more easily, can they be polished if they are scratched, why do some use plastic over sapphire at all? I'm sure this is obviuous to some - but not to me!!
