When I purchased my Arctic Stainless one I called Delta to ask the difference and they told me that if I had stainless appliances in my kitchen that the Arctic would match better but I am unsure of which one to pick for brushed nickel.

The arctic is more like the brushed nickel, i have an RO tap that is brushed nickel next to this faucet, not a noticeable difference.

Each person's eye is different. To me, the Arctic is a more "pure" silver color. The Stainless appears to have a very slight "bronze" tint to it. I my opinion, Arctic would appear to have more of a brushed nickel look?

I think the Arctic Stainless looks more like Brushed Nickel than the standard stainless steel.

Anita- A lot of Brushed Nickels look different . It is better to get the faucet first and then try to match it up. Most chrome finishes are alike though.

I think it's brushed aluminium or stainless steel. I don't think it's nickel.

Hansgrohe uses the term 'Steel Optik' which is confusing. I would say it is a stainless steel finish with a fine brush finish. Definitely not chrome or shiny. It matches well with my stainless sink and appliances. It doesn't look cheap like a lot of the low-end stainless steel appliances.

I have the Delta Faucet 58467-ss. The finish is a brushed nickel look that Delta describes as stainless steel (ss). The Delta Faucet 58467 is listed as having a "chrome" finish, so I assume that means it is a bright, polished silver. Otherwise they appear to be the same. I liked mine so much that i bought a second one for the guest bathroom.

Hi - no polished chrome is not the same as brushed nickel. Polished chrome has a very shiny finish while brushed nickel has a duller more matte silver finish. Hope that helps.

Steel optik looks better. It's a liitle darker than stainless steel. Polished nickel is similar to chrome.

Yea, it's a brushed stainless...personally I like the look of polished against brushed, but you may just want to go with a brushed look.

Yes the stainless is like brushed nickel minus the gold tint in brushed nickel, If you have brushed nickel faucets then the silver will go nicely. The chrome is nice as well, the quality is the same on both. And Yes chrome is shiny and brushed is well brushed! :) http://qualitytubandtile.com/?p=1739Purchased all finishes and probably my favorite is stainless.Enjoy,Jeff WoodingQuality Tub and Tile

I have no idea. I bought the Hamilton Beach and it is brushed stainless steel with black trim. Very strange.

I bought the steel optik which matches stainless steel appliances and sinks. It is a brushed finish. The chrome would not work with stainless steel as it is too shiny.

All of the hardware is chrome or brushed nickel, depending upon which finish you select (this listing is for the Chrome). We sell a lot of these, and haven't had any complaints. If you have any other questions, let us know. Sincerely, Gary Nealon RTA Cabinet Store www.rtacabinetstore.com

The one you are looking at has a "satin nickel" finish. The one I purchased is "chrome". Same product, just different finishes.

We actually have one chrome and one satin nickel - two different bathrooms. To me, the satin nickel looks the same as the "stainless steel" by Delta. I like both and really like this shower model and it's price too. The satin nickel is better at not showing water spots due to "satin" finish versus the shinny chrome.

Don't know if I can help--I can't say I know the difference. I think polished/mirror since they are shinier than perhaps brushed stainless might be. I just know I love my pots, they are easy to clean, and they look lovely.

I myself would not put the bronze one on a Stainless Sink. The Brushed nickel is much more attractive as it matches the look.
