Default Refinishing Hardwood flooring

Hi,

Finally the last floor in my old house is down. I've been replacing
the old boards with new h/wood (oak/ash) flooring. This project has
been over a few years and the first floors replaced are now starting
to look a bit "average". I've been using this finish:

While it goes onto new timber beautifully, over time it yellows and as
it is high gloss, it is quick to highlight any imperfection.

I'm now wanting to have the floors stripped and a satin finish
applied. I've found the 7008 to be extremely hard wearing and
hesitant to go to a standard single pack finish, but can't find any
satin two pack floor paint in Australia? I'm also concered that the
high gloss might show through the satin, or somehow react badly with
it.

Can someone please suggest a finish/paint that would be suitable for
this application?

Cheers,
