Nobody is recommending $1000 1911 pistols. Just trying to show that one of the models has more features that you would find on a higher priced 1911. They're both good guns and you'll be happy with either I would say. But if you're not concerned with many features then no biggie.
If you're leaning toward the satin nickel, you should really check out the stainless Taurus then to get a good comparison. For me, I'd rather have a stainless than a nickel. I've had nickel pistols before. If they're something that you plan on getting a lot of use out of, you have to be careful with the nickel finish. It will eventually flake given enough wear and tear. You won't have that problem with stainless. There are a lot of people who think nickel is a higher maintenance finish than regular bluing.
