Dave Hillman's reply is very good. 
You also need to consider that nickel is much less soluble in tin than copper
(dissolution rate about 1/30) and thus requires more heat (higher temperature
and/or more time) to form a good solder joint. Further, such a solder joint
is typically not as strong as one made to a copper surface.
