stairs are treated pine, but deck is Merbau

Hi - I am about to put a finish on our deck that is a couple of months old. The main part of the deck is merbau. To finish the merbau I have pretty much settled on Jarrah tint Spa-N-Deck (because I really like what Halfie did using this finish on Balau, and while Merbau is a little different to Balau I am hoping it looks similar in the end http://www.renovateforum.com/showthread.php?t=74185 ).

My problem is the deck stairs are not merbau, they are treated pine. I think if I use Jarrah tint Spa-N-Deck on the stairs they will just go orange. Any ideas on what I should use as a finish for the stairs? Should I just leave them with nothing on them?
