Dominic, You must be looking at the Cabot series. It has a 15 yr warranty. The Arlington series has a 25 year warranty. Honestly, both have the same finish. It is a numbers game. Cabot is a great floor if you want some natural color variation, and a little more character( small knots, mineral streaks). Arlington would be a *cleaner" grade, with less of those characteristics. Both series have an aluminum oxide, UV cured finish with "Scotchguard" protection. Almost all prefinished manufacturers use aluminum oxide finish, so don't be fooled by the idea that a higher end product will necessarily be more durable. Century is a great product, and has a much smaller bevel than most prefinished products. Enjoy!
