Deck oil recommendation for tigerwood

I have a 4 year old tigerwood deck that never got properly sealed when it was built. Last year I cleaned and brightened it and got one coat of Treehouse Lab's Tung 50 Orange oil on it before the weather turned (Seattle--rainy). This year I decided to rehab it and seal correctly, so I've sanded the entire deck down to raw wood in the hopes of doing it "right." While I liked the finish the Tung 50 O gave, there is no UV protector in it so the rich color of the tigerwood will fade out. Has anyone used the fairly new Ipe Oil (from the ipe-clip company)? My other leaning is toward Messmer's--either the UV plus or the Caribbean Teak. I'd love to hear your experiences with any or all of these finishes.
