Dynaco A25 Restoration

I got an old pair of Dynaco A25's in rough shape off an ebay auction to try them out and restore them. Much to my surprise they sound amazing and are a rare mirrored pair!  I had to replace one tweeter that had a break in its voice coil wire. I removed the drivers and thoroughly sanded down the cabinets to raw walnut. They looked pretty amazing, but I decided to stain them a classic darker "honey" wood stain and wish I hadn't. The natural walnut looked so good I should have just kept it and done a natural wood stain. How do y'all think they look?  
 

Online I see lots of them stained darker and some more natural walnut color. Did I ruin the vintage look by staining?  You can see in one of my pics uploaded the natural color vs darker wood stain.
