Satin finish

I recently picked up a satin spray varnish by Winsor Newton (recommended by th shop owner). Have I made a mistake with this? I planned to use it on a large formal portrait of a horse against a deep plum background. The background was done with numerous glazes over a brilliant gold toned canvas. It sings, as Steven put it earlier). I don't want to lose this brilliance, retouch varnish has show me what it will look like with a gloss finish and I like it. Has anyone used any spray-on satin finish? Should I just go get a gloss for when I'm ready to add the final varnish? I haven't varnished a piece yet.
