There is a little difference/little difference?

Hi. Please help. Could the following be a comment to indicate there is a difference, eventhough it be in a varying degree and/or might be looking at the difference from a positive or negative point-of-view? (I hope what I wrote reflects what I wanted to say - not sure, though). Also. For sentence 3, if we want to indicate that there is a small difference, how should we write? Should we write "There is a little/small difference"?

1. There is a little difference between the two.

2. There is little difference between the two.

3. There is a difference between the two.

4. There is difference between the two.

The correct sentence should be "There is a subtle difference between the two."

2. Two people tryout for the same positio

2. There is little difference between the two. - almost no difference
3. There is a difference between the two. - They are not exactly the same.

4. There is difference between the two. (I don't recommend this one. It's not good.)
