That is fantastic and looks beautiful. Be sure to wipe up any liquids quickly to prevent delamination. The engineered wood floors are very susceptible to water damage.
I was told just the opposite. Building our home here near the ocean with high humidity we were told by several builders to use engineered wood as its less prone to expansion and contraction from humidity. Are you referring to laminate? Engineered is actually a real wood "sandwich" which is structurally superior to solid wood and laminate. Of course it may depend on the quality of the wood and filler. I Think higher end floors such as was installed by the OP would be just fine. Perhaps Ernie knows.
