Glass platter or Acrylic?

I'm using a Rega P5 with Exact 2 cart. The table is stock except for the groove tracer subplatter. I also use the Souther clever clamp. Phono stage is Lehmann Black Cube SE. The TT does have the outboard PSU.

I've been wondering about swapping out the glass platter for acrylic. The music I'm enjoying now has good detail, clarity, impact, but might lack a bit of bloom or warmth.

What say you? All comments will be read carefully and pondered. Thanks,

I went one step further than Seantaylor99 and put the 14MM Funk Firm PLATTER in place of the glass platter on my Rega P25 and LOVE it! For all the reasons mentioned above.

I also hear very good things about the GrooveTracer Acrylic platter, but have not actually tried one.
