Tru-Oil, which I think you seem to like, is just a wiping varnish like Antique Oil, Formby's, Watco Danish Oil, Waterlox (my favorite, by the way). Wiping varnishes vary in % composition, so they can be a bit different in final appearance or drying time. If the oil is Tung, it'll dry faster than if the oil is BLO.
Tru Oil is 56% mineral spirits or turpentine, 33 % oil varnish, and 11% oil (Tung, I think, though some say it's BLO).
So all I get from you is just a superior sounding blather. Tell me your favorite finish and I might give it a try if I like the way it sounds.
