i'm not particularly bothered one or t'other, if it's good enough for the Champions League and World Cup matches it's good enough for Accy
However the bit about it having no maintance costs doesn't ring true to me. How long does one of those pitches last for? I know it isn't a like for like comparison but the Sports Centre all weather pitch has been knackered for many a year now and has stuck to the "no maintance" mantra, but it hasn't been good enough for a proper match for many a year. Can the new 3g pitches be maintained or do they need a complete re-lay (at 500k) every few years? 20 years use from one at £25k per year is expensive enough ....
Like Teach said, good for training on
