I just bought a book on framing that claims that plexi works better 
for photographs than glass because glass, even non-UV, has more of a 
yellow tint to it. Plexi apparently gives a truer rendition of "white" 
highlights. It only seems to matter in highlight areas. (Matting and 
Framing Made Easy, by Janean Thompson 1996, see photo page 101 and 
text before that).

My own experience was a little ugly. In a show in Boulder Colorado in 
the eightties, I hand delivered a work, an 11 x 14 silver gelatin in 
an 16 x 20 frame with glass for a show. Someone broke the glass and it 
put a big ripping scratch across the print. I had to replace the print 
and re-frame. The gallery payed for the re-frame I think, but not the 
ruined print.<shrug>
