Just two different mindsets/aproaches Goldie.  With Sydney, you get a 'character' as a base, to start with.  With V4 (and other Victorias), you get a 'blank slate' to start with.

In the case of Sydney, if that character is appealing to you, then you're all set, but it might be difficult in some cases to get the 'Sydney' out of Sydney when you want something else.

In the case of V4 (along with the morph pack(s)), you start with something more 'generic', but is more easily moldable to something new (there are fewer 'defining characteristics' that you have to undo).

Both are equally vaild approaches and both have thier uses.
