Softwood vs Oak hardwood truss???

I'm really torn over what to choose.

 

The original plan for my timber trusses was a softwood of which I have structural calculations already done but I recently changed my idea to make it in Oak instead but I'm really doubting my decision.

Not only are the truss makers insisting a set of new structural calcs for oak but I'm thinking for the extra expense, could I find a softwood that could be treated or aged to look like oak?

 

Thoughts?
