Any knowledge of the UV sensitivity of Mpix prints?

I ordered some framed photos from Mpix. In their options, they want either regular acrilic, anti-glare acrilic, or no acrilic. I have gotten some photos from them before and I found both acrilic versions to be awful. The anti-glare acrilic just has a slightly matte finish that makes everything look foggy. And the regular acrilic is very shiny with lots of glare.

With no acrilic at all, the photos look amazing! I was planning on getting some anti-glare glass, which I know works very well, but is expensive.

If I can avoid getting glass, I would.

I am worried about fading from UV. I got the anti UV and fingerprint coating, but is that enough?

The photos are in a bright room, but never in direct sunlight.

How quickly can I expect noticeable fading? Will the photos look good for a few years, or am I throwing my money away?
