the difference between methylphenidate and amphetamine

i know someone who uses ADHD medicine, so i was curious as to what the difference between the two types of medicine ingredients used are:
* methylphenidate
* amphetamnine
 
after reading alot today i think i've broken down the difference between the two:

methylphenidate:
* blocks reuptake of dopamine (DRI)

* increases the body's production of dopamine, but to a less extent than amphetamine

amphetamine:
* slows reuptake of dopamine

"acts as a substrate for DAT and slows reuptake by a secondary acting mechanism through the phosphorylation of dopamine transporters."
 

* increases the body's production of dopamine (RA)


they seem really similar--their 2 main effects are inversely stronger than the other.
