Not if the price of diesel up there is a dollar more per gallon like it is down

I agree. Engineered is garbage. It will always have a cheap look to it. The pre
finished is nice but it has a subtle bevel and a finish which is too perfect.
These both detract in my opinion. The best is solid wood sanded then finished.

Why not buy or make your own oak flooring to match what is there?
The prefinished stuff is nowhere near as nice as the old oak (or
maple) flooring. Maybe you can find a school that is taking up their
maple flooring and get then for the hauling if you want to go cheap.
I got some oak
I have done real TG oak and maple in about six different houses. This would
be solid wood, 3/4 thick, tongue and groove flooring, unfinished.
I'm not familiar with a prefinished 3/4 wood product.
I have done engineered flooring, specifically Pergo, in a couple of houses.
My personal preference

I particularly hate the 'snare drum' sound of the floating wood-like

The thing is, in 20 years (?) when these look like crap they'll

I was concerned about the prefinished stuff too but after researching
it I determined that the factory finish is much harder and durable than
