Lol, I was just addressing the software side though. In terms of capabilities, there is a BIG difference between the two. ;-)

There is a good chance of vocals having similar sounds, due to there being only X amount of variations of the human voice. Thats all you really need to remember here. This is why voice impersonators exist, such as the classic Elvis impersonator.

I've seen people treat the Vocaloids as snowflakes that no other Vocaloid can mimic, but the reality is they'll reflect within themselves what happens in the real world. Meaning, they can indeed sound similar to each other. Its just knowing where to draw the line. Particular to note, as Japanese has about 50 basic sounds, its more likely to occur.

Engine version aside, one major thing that does make every vocaloid a special snowflake is its database of sounds. These are unique to each vocaloid, thus in this way they do not sound alike. In fact only straight up "Vocal X + GWL/XSY" upgrades like Rana V3 and Rana V4 produce the same results.
