I am not a chemist, so on a scale of plexiglass to polycarbonate, how impact resistant is duraplex actually? I'm sure there are games they can play with the chemistry, but is it anywhere close to polycarbonate level durability?

A google search seems to show people on the internet are generally not enthusiastic about its impact resistance relative to polycarb.
