Option 1 - Situation when you can use both a prefix-list & a access-list.

Let's say if you want to match any class C prefix - You can use an
access-list like this for this purpose 'ip access-list 1 permit 192.0.0.0
31.0.0.0' - This would match any class C prefix irrespective of it's subnet
mask length.

The same can be done using a prefix-list 'ip prefix CLASS_C permit
192.0.0.0/3 le 32

Option 2 - Situation when you can use only a prefix-list.

Let's say you want to match only the class C prefixes with a subnet mask of
length 24bits to 32bits - You cannot match on subnet mask length in an
access-list.
The prefix list used in this situation would be 'ip prefix CLASS_C permit
192.0.0.0/3 ge 24 le 32'

Conclusion - Prefix lists are much more stronger than access-lists.

Access-lists can match only on prefix patterns, they do not match the subnet
length at all.
Prefix-lists can match both on prefix patterns & subnet mask length.
