Oil based wiping varnishes tend to add "warmth" to the wood.  Water based poly leaves the wood "cold" looking, especially darker wood like cherry and walnut.  I use water based only with very light woods like maple and birch.  It dries crystal clear,  while an oil based finish typically has an amber cast to it.

I would test it first.  Some finishes don't bond well.  Or you could put a coat of wax free shellac in between the coats.
