Concrete coping vs. rim lock coping

[beary]

Our pool builder will not pour concrete copings because he has seen so many pools with it chipped and replaced. I think the problem is the same as the stone coping, it has to be sealed every year to prevent chipping in freezing weather. We didn't push it anymore, but I would have like the option of concrete coping.

I am starting to think pavers may be a better option, but cost will be a factor. The pool is 16*36 oasis similar to a kidney shaped. They are charging us $650 for the concrete coping, I am sure it will cost a lot more for pavers.
