Site-finished vs. pre-finished hardwood floors?

We're trying to match the original (1940s) red oak floors in our house to new flooring in the kitchen. Thus far, all the pre-finished options we've found seem a little bit off color-wise, and most come only in a high-gloss finish (existing floors are satin). Has anyone here opted to site-finish your hardwood floors? We've obviously never done this before and don't have a good sense of how big a pain it would be or how the overall cost would compare to pre-finished. Do you think it would be easier to get a good match going this route? Other pros/cons?

Thanks so much!
