I would take OPTION 1A (with the scratch-resistant coating). As my daily business involves polycorbonate, I can tell you EMPHATICALLY the poly scratches VERY easily w/o a SR coating.
Separately, I would like this cover to be made with the appropriate underside "bulge" that would more reasily permit the installation of the various aftermarket plenums (X-51,
softronic, etc.).
Is this possible?
