And I have a lot of experience making 6000 spi scans using it. BTW, anti Newton acrylic is used by Screen for both the scanning bed, and for hold-down sheets.

I doubt I'd want acrylic underneath a neg. It's not even the correct kind of acrylic. Scratches easily, hydrates and dimensionally unstable, electrostatic. But it's easy to size, relatively cheap, and doesn't shatter. There is also an advantage to something a bit heavier if gravity is the primary factor in a carrier rather than compression clips. Acrylic would be a non-starter for any kind of registration work. But it's certainly worth experimenting with.
Folks,
Here is a URL from APUG now photrio. They had similar questions.

His glass worked fairly well for LF enlargements and flatbed scanners. A bit too coarse for MF combined with very high MTF Apo enlrgr lenses. There are just too many potential variables to give a legitimate generic answer.
