Red oak stain - advice wanted

Had red oak floors stained with duraseal early american, no water pop. Don’t love how orange the floors look. (Orange coloring is more noticeable in person- I feel like photo subdues it)

This is no fault of the floor guy. He put down a bunch of samples and honestly I had a hard time visualizing how it would look in the whole space.

We plan to live here 15+ years so thinking about having him resand and restain. Not looking to go dark dark but thinking a little darker is what I was hoping for.

Wondering if we should've gone with early american with water pop - the sample was darker. But again, hard time visualizing the sample in the space. Would I be just as disappointed re orange coloring? Would going slightly darker to special walnut help reduce the orange coloring?
