Default Lexan for jigs

I see most crosscut sleds use 3/4" plywood for the base, but why
couldn't I use 1/4" Lexan instead? It's a stable material, isn't it?

I would think it would work but after some use it would scratch up badly.
I'm unsure of its stability with heat. It melts easily.
I use 9mm Baltic Birch (3/8") Plywood. Stable and strong.
