Can someone explain why you would want an acetate, when you can have vinyl dubs cut now?

Haven't cut one (yet) but 12" acetates seem to be the most favored.

Porbably because they supposedly last longer. Get the same tune cut twice on each and compare, only way you're gonna find out.

by thinking
PVC dubs have a different sound, a little brighter than acetate. They should also last longer, but frankly an acetate will last ages iif you look after it. They're also lighter since an acetate is basically a metal disc covered in a thin layer of material into which the grooves are cut.
I've got plastic dubs and acetates and both have their pros & cons...

what thinking said.
only way to answer this question for yourself is get something cut and make your own mind up.
