The only difference is the location on the animal. On a cow for example, the top sirloin is a slightly higher cut on the beast than the bottom sirloin. The generic term "sirloin" is another sirloin cut that is just above the tenderloin.
No one sirloin is better than the other, however, the top sirloin is slightly more tender, as it is located in an area where the muscle is not given any exposure and thus the meat is slightly more tender then, say, the shank (legs).
Most people think "top" sirloin means its of better quality, but this is a myth. It all depends on how you cook the meat, and how tender you desire the meat to be. For the most tender cut from the sirloin section, choose the top sirloin. For the most tender cut on the whole animal, choose tenderloin (for obvious reasons.)

Recipe ask for top Sirloin steak I have sirloin steak. Is there a difference?
the is basicly no difference between the 2 in new zealand, where i live, as we have a very high quality of beef and lamb products. but in other countries like America it my be different. The top sirloin steak would just be of a higher quality, so you could use sirloin steak, but there may be a slight difference in the "texture" of the meat. you may need to cook for less time or use more marinade if you are using marinade, ect, to regain some of the juicyness back to the meat.

Cube steak can be made from the top sirloin, so the only difference then would be that the sirloin is cut as a true steak, but to be "cube steak", the meat has been tenderized by pounding with a meat tenderizing hammer or put through a mechanical meat tenderizer to partially slice the fibers to make the meat more tender. Cube steak is also often made from the top round.

What is the difference between striplion and sirlion?
Sirloin is found just behind the short loin on the cow, just above the tenderloin, and just before the round. The strip loin is cut from the Short Loin section of the cow. The short loin is found between the rib and sirloin, and just above the flank. The sirloin is more flavorful than the strip loin, however it is much more tough, and requires a different cooking method or technique in order to tenderize it.

What is the difference between a euro top and a pillow top mattress?
The difference between Euro-top and Pillow-top is not in comfort but in appearance. A Euro-top is the same as a Pillow-top it still has the same extra layer on to the mattress, the difference is that with a Euro the pillow top is sewn into the side of the mattress giving it cleaner lines whereas a Pillow-top is sewn on top of the mattress.A pillow top is a design that features a piece of padding on the top of the mattress that is sewn on with a gap around the side between the padding and the mattress. A euro top has the same piece of padding on top site but it's sewn on so that there is no space left between the mattress and the cushion where they meet around the side. There is really no functional difference between the two, it's just a cosmetic difference.
