I have had a GLI liner and a Latham liner in the past two years - long story... The Latham liner was expertly installed, so the fit is great and the look is great. BUT... Even though the GLI liner was not installed correctly, I think the seams were a lot better concealed. The Latham liner seams are very visible - during the day and at night. If I had a choice, I would go back to GLI, but the Latham liner is of good quality and fits well so I am grateful to have that "difficult liner" chapter behind me. Best of luck with your choice.

Did you decide on Tara or Latham? I am between both but Latham is much more expensive in my quotes

Hi TonyBon yes we went with Latham mostly because installer was the first to be able to get to it and
he has a good rep in our town. Went dark this time courtstone grey and we love it. Water is a turquoise color.
He matched the Tara liner in price, so far so good!
