I guess it depends what you like.  I've had both store-bought and
pick-your-own Liberties, and I think it's a fine apple.  A nice, rich
Mac type flavor (slightly different aromatics, but nice) that keeps a
little better than a Mac.  They do tend to be on the small side.  I've
only had store bought Galas, and was very unimpressed.  Sweet, but
oh-so-bland.  But then, I like  a tart apple.  De gustibus non
disputandum (or something like that). 

I'm in New England, where the Mac is the default apple.
