FWIW, a few years ago I switched to doing all my necks with satin poly. I just prefer the feel more than gloss.
I still have some older builds that have gloss but for whatever reason, they don't seem to suffer the "sticky neck syndrome". It may be worth noting that I moved from acrylic lacquer to poly before that because I really didn't get on with the feel of the lacquer.
Also, there must be a reason Fender has switched a while ago to satin finishes on most of their necks, and even list it as a "feature".
I'm guessing enough people disliked the gloss that they made the change. I wouldn't be surprised if the satin finish is easier and/or cheaper than gloss. Fender (particularly Leo) has had a long history of a "bottom line" mentality.
