Default Better Bottles... Fight! Fight! Fight!

The UK homebrew market it seems loves PET - better bottles, but doesn't really give a fig for the glass carboy approach.
It's hard to get 5/6g glass carboys here. I have both PET and glass and both seem - to mynovice nose and eyes - seem to
be producing equally good results. Obviously the better bottles win hands down when it comes to sanitation and lifting.

I would love to hear honest opinions based on experience as to whether ultimately glass will survive as the only
fermenting and aging medium when such good alternatives seem to exist. Opinion Oshminion, I'd like to hear evidence.
From where I am standing, I'd need a bloodhounds nose and a hawks eyes to tell the difference in results. If that's the
case, I might as well proceed with PET as it is a darned sight easier to use...

Cheers for you thoughts on this. I look forward to hearing the benefits of your experiece, Jim
