Teak finish

I know this has been discussed before ... but would like to see a fresh discussion.

Now: Ugly, orangy Cetol, chipping and flaking off
Plan: Sand down to bare teak
Then, a coat of West System, then a few coats of varnish (this worked very well on mahoghany on my last boat)

I don't like the "natural" teak look, so that's out. I also don't like the current Cetol look (though I understand there's more than one option with Cetol).

Thoughts?
