The typical Finn is coarser and heavier built, such as you can see in certain slavs, and the face of the Finn is rounder, flatter, broader and often with poor nose bridge development and eyes that can have a non-white look to them. You don't see that as often in Scandinavians unless they have Sami or Finnish admixture, or non-white admixture, since it is atypical for the pure Nordic race.
A Finn often looks like an odd cross between a Slav, East Baltic and Sami, and to me it is very obvious that many Finns have genetic closer ties to the Sami and to Uralic peoples from the East. That is why I would prefer that Scandinavians and Finns keep more separate, as sub-racial purity matters, as does the preservation of the Nordic subraces. Needless to say that also goes for Sami racial mixing, which adds non-white admixture to Scandinavians every day.
In fact, I think the two major problems with Scandinavian racial purity can be found in the Sami situation and in the Finn situation. Finland is non-Scandinavian/Germanic, racially, and hadn't it been for Swedish admixture most Finns would look like an extreme version of the East Baltic type and the Sami/Uralic influence, would be even more noticeable.
I am aware that there are more Nordic types than the Hallstatt Nordic variety but that doesn't change the fact that Finns are not usually Nordic. I don't mean that they there don't exist people who look Nordic there, but generally, I think the Finnish belong ethnically much more to the East, and Nordic influxes are probably of a much more recent date.
