Notwithstanding the Wikipedia quote above, Leipzig and Nürnberg differed significantly and were, at best, half-sisters - although many references list them as belonging to two separate single-ship classes. Nürnberg's displacement was nearly 1000 tonnes greater, her steam powerplant produced 10% more SHP, she had an additional heavy AA mounting, different bridge structure and repositioned catapult. Depends, I suppose, upon your definition of "slightly" in "slightly modified design"!
