What’s “infinite number” you refer to, for finite numbers to be different from it? (There’re infinite cardinals, of course, but that’s set theory, a step bigger than flipping the “finite” modifier.)
All of them. Different ones behave in different ways, but none of them behave like finite numbers.

What if I started with finite cardinals?
I think what we’d use for utility is like cardinal numbers, although that’s not precisely what it is. There isn’t a set of different QALYs. The finite values are more like real numbers. You still talk about how many QALYs, though.
