Like Mike said, TEST, TEST, and TEST some more. Don't forget to wait a few days before declaring success, sometimes delayed problems can "surface".

However, "systemizing", using all products from one brand (except maybe shellac) is exactly what I do when it really counts, I haven't done it before, and I don't have an extra week or two to test. In fact, I frequently systemize finishes even when I have the extra time.
