Default Harley windshields

I have a 2009 Ultra Classic. looking at a shorter windshield. Saw some discussions where several people kept recommending Clearview which I ahve looked at. My concern is that they are Arcylic and all the talk around scratching and breakage of acrylic verses polycarbonate. Some of my fellow riders recomended F4. Little pricier but awfully tough on scratches. Thoughts?

I replace the standard with a lightly smoked (barely noticable) shorter replacement shield. I took the brackets, etc off of the standard and used them on the shorter one (bought from my Harley dealer). You will have to spend some time removing the old double sided tape from the windshield frame, but it was not too hard a job.
