We point out that specifying the finite modular group does not uniquely fix a flavor symmetry. illustrate this using $T'$. Otherwise equivalent models based on different $T'$ lead to forms with properties and, hence, produce phenomenological features. exemplify in various scenarios, and show ability of given model accommodate mass other observed hierarchies depends sensitively way is implemented.

In modular invariant models of flavor, observables must be invariant. The discussed so far in the literature are functions modulus τ and its conjugate, τ¯. We point out that certain combinations depend only on τ, i.e. meromorphic, some cases even holomorphic τ. These functions, which we dub "invariants" this Letter, highly constrained, renormalization group invariant, allow us to derive many models' features without need for extensive parameter scans. illustrate robustness these invariants...
