Im about to get some ground glass for my 8x10 camera that is being made by Richard Ritter. He uses high quality acrylic instead of glass. At the same time I hear much good about Hopf groundglass and wonders if someone have tried both and can explain the difference, pros and cons. Thanks :)

Acrylic will scratch fairly easily, but glass is more likely to break. Thin acrylic may bow off-plane on a large ground glass, even under the light pressure of a loupe.
