What is difference between RIPrep and Sysprep. I know they both strip sids, but what else distinguishes them?

TheBenefits of RIPrep
Supports use of different hardware between the source and destination computers (both computers must have the same hardware abstraction layer).
Does not require additional imaging software.
Provides full support for replicating the source image to a server and restoring it onto destination computers.
Limitations of Using RIPrep
Does not support replication of RIPrep images to sources other than RIS servers, such as removable media.
Does not support creating Windows 2000 Server images.
Benefits of Using SysPrep
Supports creating both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server images.
Supports use of third-party disk imaging and replication products.
Limitations of Using SysPrep
Requires the same hardware abstraction layer and mass storage controller on both the source and destination computers.
Does not provide support for drive imaging, additional third-party tools are required for the imaging and replication processes
