Nickel is more resistant to corrosion. Good if you live in a humid climate and want to store a box of ammo for a while.
Mostly done for snowy parts of the work but I guess it works in tropical ones as well. I don't recall many shooters from QLD complaining about their ammo corroding in storage though?
It can be reloaded, but being more brittle it won't last as long before it splits.
It's no more "durable" than brass in a rough and tumble sense, just the corrosion resistance.
It's a bit more slick to chamber, but if you don't have a problem with that as it then meh.
Not worth the extra for Australia IMO.
