That is good information, my engineered floors are over 10 years old and have held up very well. I was told at the time of install that they could not be refinished.
So this would be something to verify as it seems that some can be and some cannot be refinished.
My real hardwoods have been in since 1996 when the house was built and they have been subjected to 4 kids, 3 dogs (that go swimming and come in still damp an lay on the floor) and they have held up very well.
Both options can work and it come down to which you like the look of and budget. An additional consideration could be the install process and time.
