We did Amtico. Interestingly people comment on how nice our new wood floor is...
The need to go to specsavers.
We had Karndean 'stone' with their grey plastic grout lines. It looked really good and wore really well but I was never under any illusion it looked like real stone. People were regularly surprised though - always amazed me. .
A solid floor can also be refinished, you may struggle with refinishing an engineered floor more than once or twice, if at all.
All depends how thick the wood is. I think ours is 12mm, which is a lot of sanding to wear through....
We had engineered wood put down in our lounge and hall, we wanted it to be stable so went for that over solid wood. Laminate was never in scope

Is that the total thickness of the floor boards, or the thickness of the finishing layer that you can sand?

No idea, was about 20 years ago...
Will take a look tonight if I remember...
However, I have sanded some big iron drop dents out of it, so there's several mm of real wood there at least...

Possible but unlikely. When we were buying ours the wear layers were mostly either 4 or 6mm. That's more than enough to sand to take out scratches a couple of times and I'd be surprised If you'd be wanting to do it within 10 years or even longer. Even if you'd got solid wood you'd not want to take more than the thickness of the wear layer on engineered off it. Big dents you're better off filling.
