The owner's manual has a picture describing the difference. It's pretty obvious if you compare the two side by side.

The master key will unlock the glove box and the trunk. The valet key won't let you do that. That's really the only difference between the two.

You should get the steel copies made. I'm pretty sure using a brass copy leaves shavings in the ignition cylinder which can cause it to lock up.
So I can make any key a master key by putting a square handle on it? Sorry, couldn't resist.
