Default Acrylic or glass windows -advice please?

I'm getting estimates for replacing my old vinyl windows in my sunroom with acrylic windows. One company recommended glass instead of acrylic, stating that glass would be better for insulating from temperature changes, and will provide a tighter seal from rain. He said that there is always some "play" in the acrylic installations, which may allow some leakage. And also mentioned that acrylic scratches and mars very easily.

I asked if using glass would make it qualify as a regular "room", making my taxes higher. He said that law was changed in April, so my taxes would remain the same. I hadn't heard about this change - can any of you verify this?

I'm not sure if glass would be better than acrylic. Glass is an extra $800. I'd appreciate any of your opinions.
TIA!
