compost addition to lawn

Debating about use of Soilbuilder or mushroom compost to mix in with existing soil. Want to seed again after I tilled and removed an old lawn. But worried about two things: Salinity content of the mushroom compost mentioned here and the nitrogen content of either option. I plan on using centipede grass seed to start my lawn and understand its sensitive to high nitrogen fertilizers?
