Sydney or Ami?

I have gotten a lot of comments over the last few months about just how much Sydney looks like Ami.  I see the similarities, but I see a lot of differences.  Then again, I spend all day staring at Sydney (and did the same with Ami two years ago), so I might have a bit of an advantage.

Let's see if YOU can tell which is which!  (Hover your mouse over each image for the answer.)

How did you do?  I gave this quiz to Nick and even he had a hard time with it.  These girls may look a lot alike, but I can already see how different their personalities are.
