I've had tables by Music Hall, Clearaudio and Pro-ject with acrylic platters. With them I experimented with several commercial and DIY mats. In each and every case I went back to no mat at all.
I run aluminum platters and I'm not a fan of mats, a local audio shop offered to lend me the origin live upgrade mat for home demo and it really caught me by surprise. I ended up purchasing it and considering another for my other tt. With an acrylic platter I probably wouldn't use a mat...
Basis turntables, (also made with acrylic), typically don't have mats either, and AJ Conti, (Basis designer/owner), recommends against their use as well. (I tried one on my Basis 1400, and did not like it.)
