Is there a difference between それに and さらに?

I was also curious, this is what I was able to find:
それに The first clause and the second clause are independent and there is no emotional or judgement in the sentence. It’s casually used and spoken.
Exmaples:
この雑誌は読みやすく、それに写真もきれいだ。
This magazine is easy to read and has pretty pictures.
更に (さらに) indicates the situation changes into the next level.
Examples:
風が更に強くなった。
The wind becomes strong. (It was a gentle breeze however, there is a strong wind.)
更にこの会社発展することを期待する。
I expect this company will develop more.

Can someone help me out with this. I just can’t figure out when it is それに or それで. Is there just a trick to this? To me they seem so similar that I might as well just flip a coin, but then still get it wrong 9 out of 10 times. Really could use a hand on this.
And my confusion mainly stems from the fact that they just seem to be different flavours of “and”

wish there was somewhere in the Details that explained the difference between それに and それで.
