The difference is colour. Brushed nickel has a hue closer to beige and brushed stainless is closer to chrome. There is another difference, as well.

While less shiny, it fits well with granite, slate, and other stone counters to give a softer look to a kitchen or bathroom.
Not well. Nickel has a different color than chrome. It is not a "true" silver. Also every manufacturer has a different shade of nickel so you can struggle to even match nickel between product lines. Stay with one or the other. Chrome is certainly less expensive and still looks great.
