One other note - if you let your poly wear through in high traffic areas, you can pick up some stains on the wood, especially if it's oak.
("Fumed oak" is stained artifically. Oak seems to react unhappily with a lot of acids, and wax will protect against water but not acids. I'll never have a waxed wood floor again - too much trouble to maintain!)
