I looked up the price for a 1" x 12" x 12" piece of both polycarbonate and polyacrylate, and the polyacrylate was significantly cheaper. There were several different types of polycarbonate you could buy in this size, ranging in price between $100 and $300. There was only one kind of acrylic available in the size I specified (cast acrylic) and it was about $50. If instead I chose a 1/2" x 12" x 12" the prices were closer, but the polycarbonate was still more expensive on average. There were even more types of polycarbonate in this size available, ranging from $25 to $155. There were also several types of acrylic in this size, from $15 to $40. NOTE: Prices are from the McMaster-Carr website-- see Web Links to the left of this answer. They have many many shapes and sizes for additional price comparisons if necessary!
