Place I sometimes work at just did ca 200sqm of workspace.
It looks bad bc the concrete wasn't that even, and the epoxy is shiny so highlights that.
And they managed to produce a spot that never dried, which they then had to grind off and redo. The guys that did the work found it stressful.
High quality normal floor paint is quite hard wearing in my experience, and the whole process is way more relaxed. And if stuff goes wrong or wears off you can just touch up. Also no thanks to wearing full face masks in summer.
On the other hand, if you don't mind the toxic aspect and all goes well as in @citrons case, it can look very slick.
We used semi Matt hardener so not too shiny, although we replaced the high bay and wall lighting with led at the same time. So the overall change in appearance was pretty significant.
