I have bottled 2 different beers half in glass flip top bottles and half in PET bottles...taste completely different. The plastic ones are really poor in comparison to the glass.

Anyone else experienced this?
 
While PET bottles seem to have a good reputation here (no reason to doubt it), they have a trick or two with the PET such as squeezing them to leave just enough air for carbing. If it's the same beer, very few variables (tight seal or light or, I suppose, flavor leeched from the plastic--I know you said PET).
Do you think it's oxygenation or too much UV or something?
