Finale is for arrangement of musical notation and sheet music. It only has XG MIDI instruments (about 120 sounds) which sound very crude and cheesy. Obviously since the software is designed for just notation it would make no sense for high end sound.
GarageBand is mainly for recording audio and MIDI, editing, sequencing (using midi), processing effects, and a lot more stuff. GarageBand comes with a large library of pre-recorded samples, virtual instruments, synths, and effects. It uses looping features to repeat musical phrases throughout a song.
Basically, in a nutshell, Finale is for notation... GarageBand is for audio production. Of course you can do notation in GarageBand and some production in Finale, but mainly that's not their design.

Can i take a song I've made in garage band and have it scored through finale?
You can import MIDI files into Finale, but Garageband does not export this format. You can upgrade to Logic Express or Logic Studio and open your Garageband files and export the tracks that were played by MIDI keyboard to a MIDI file. Solo audio (one note at a time solo instruments) can be converted with Logic Studio, although the process is not perfect.
