Never used Acela, but the normal train is great. Beautiful scenery.
Only thing is the insane price jumps. A coach ticket can be anywhere from $28 to $162. Not sure why this is legal, but it happens. My advice would be to plan your trips as far in advance as possible and get tickets as soon as you can.
In my opinion it's the best way to go. I've been traveling between the 2 cities regularly since 2009 and Amtrak is the best mix of price/comfort/affordability.

The cheap fares are 14-day advance purchase, subject to availability, on the Northeast Regional. Similar in principle to airline pricing.

I agree - Penn is also so much better than the airports. That alone makes it worth it.

The new Moynihan train hall is really nice no longer do you need to sit in the dank Penn dungeon.
