You'd need to rub with the steel wool enough to remove some of the toner. Very difficult to get an even color - especially around the edges. So I'd strip it. Just do one light pass with the toner. A little goes a long way.
I used Perfect Brown on the top of my 15DX. It's definitely more red than MBW. You can see the difference between the new and old finish on the trim surrounding the top surface. I wish I had gone with MBW but it's too much work to start over now.
