Cork floor -- Natural Cork Everglade Oak?

Has anyone installed Natural Cork's Everglade Oak floating cork floor, from their Cork Canvas line? Or any of their other Cork Canvas designs?

Natural Cork - Cork Canvas Plank

I'm getting ready to rip up the old wall-to-wall carpet in my 1BR condo and put down a floating cork floor. The new floor will be for the the living room/dining room, bedroom and hallway -- everything except the kitchen and bathroom. There are several aspects of cork that I like, especially its sound-dampening qualities. The hard part has been finding a color and texture/pattern that I like -- not too dark or too light, not a busy pattern, no warm orange or red undertones. After many visits to the few local flooring stores that have good experience with cork, I've settled on Natural Cork's Everglade Oak. It's imprinted with an HD image of a wood grain in a gray-brown color. I didn't set out looking for a cork floor with a wood-grain image, but after considering the way the "real" cork color options look with my walls and furniture I think the Everglade Oak works best.

My runner-up choices are Kilmartin Pine, also from the Cork Canvas collection, and Eco-Timber's Fumed Oak which is also a wood-image cork. The Fumed Oak is a good medium brown but I think Natural Cork's products look more authentic. The Kilmartin Pine looks good but is darker than I'd like.

Before I pull the trigger, I'd love to hear about others' experiences with this product or even see photos of them installed, if you have any.

Thanks!
