I'd like Glob for about 15 nights next year (with kids) when we are in Asia and then for a few domestic trips. But I keep seeing references to Glob lite and want to make sure my efforts are worth it. Not really sure what "Glob lite" entails. I mainly want the breakfast/club access and would love confirmed upgrades in advance (even if for larger room). Would be nice to get a suite, but I realize that would only happen at check in, if at all. Right now I have some club access awards but they are set to expire in Feb 2022 and I'm doubtful they will extend.

Does glob lite achieve what I want? Do you all think it's worth the effort for maybe 20-25 nights next year?

"Glob lite" is great and is a somewhat silly Flyer talk distinction. If you get to 30 nights this year you'll be a Globalist and get upgrades at check in (up to standard suites on a space available basis) and free breakfast for 4. You won't get confirmed Suite Upgrade Awards or access to a concierge unless you get to 50/60 nights.
