I Like pre-cat lacquer and use it almost always. I look forward to the finish after 9 months or so, because it 'warms up"
I did some work and finished it with water borne poly 4 years ago and the work is just as stark and bright today. All the products that say non-yellowing, just yellow a little less. The water poly in the less expensive brands is going to impart the least amount of amber and warming tones over time. The more expensive commercial products are trying to be more like lacquers and varnish with grain poping tone. Try Minwax® Polycrylic®
