Melbourne seemed a bit more cosmopolitan
I was recently in Sydney and Melbourne, and you're probably about right. I don't know how to say it, but Sydney seems very, ahem white and very English.

People generally agree that, as a city, Melbourne has better 'city things'; meaning bars, restaurants, theaters etc.
Sydney is regarded as having better geography - eg: dozens of stunning beaches, extensive waterways and very close proximity to national parks.
Sydney is very ethnically diverse. Incredibly so.

I really miss Sydney (specifically UNSW and the eastern suburbs), but there is just no start up in Sydney. If you are a top CS grad from UNSW or USyd, there are only two options: Google or Macquarie bank (maybe three, but I heard that Canon research is not doing so well these days).
