Diff between Brachiosaurus and Giraffatitan?

I've been trying to look this up on my own and I'm guessing it's a shorter crest and longer neck?  Are those the 'obvious' physical differences?

These links should prove handy:

In sum, to the untrained eye, the differences are unnoticeable, just like most people likely wouldn't be able to tell Carcharodontosaurus apart from Giganotosaurus because they look very similar.

^In reference to that thread and the toy discussion, I like to call the 1988 Carnegie Brachiosaurus and the current Papo figure both Giraffatitan. The former because it is based on the Berlin mount which we know to be brancai and the latter, because it is based on the Jurassic Park version of the animal which is also based on brancai.

It's safe to say that most Brachiosaurus figures are actually Giraffatitan.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

There's also this topic in which we show how the skull of Brachio is different to Giraffa
And how it looks with flesh and skin
