strataglass vs. crystal clear dodger window material

Does someone have experience with one or both of these? I'm in the process

I'm going to need to replace the windows. They're pretty badly damaged from
prior (to my ownership) damage. The shop is recommending the crystal clear,
but I haven't had a chance to quiz her about why vs. the other.
One in a long list of projects for the off-season here...
I'll probably still do quite a bit of sailing without the dodger while it
gets worked on, as long as the sailing conditions are decent.
I recently visited live aboard friends who built a wrap-around dodger
using Strataglass for their center cockpit, and also rebuilt my dodger
with Strataglass about 5 years ago. I asked why theirs looked "like
new" while mine is rather dingy. His comment was "cleaning every two
weeks." I have to confess that he probably cleans his about 10 (maybe
20) times more often than I clean mine.
