Refinishing floors before move in: matte or satin poly?

:We’re refinishing the floors with water-based poly and no stain—I want to preserve the natural wood while reducing the current amber/yellow tone. About 40% is parquet.

My only question is matte vs. satin. Contractors seem evenly split: some swear by matte, while others say satin gives the same low-sheen look without risking a chalky/flat appearance. We had satin in our last house and liked it.

For these floors specifically, would you choose matte or satin?
