Other advice???

Skip the micro bevel, get site finished floors. That's my opinion based on 30 years of wood floor experience. We've installed maple strip in 2 kitchens and a great room. We've also had 70+ year old oak floors and there is nothing, IMO that wears better than oak, is the most forgiving with pets & kids. It can look clean & modern with a gray stain or traditional with a warm wood tone. It's totally versatile, can be refinished over and over - classic.
