I am not sure that you would ever get an "identical" plant. It may look pretty much identical, but I don't believe it would be. So many siblings look so close that it is hard to tell them apart, but there are usually very slight differences.
If it is close enough, and it is exactly what you are looking for, that would be good enough for me. I'd keep it as a seedling, and use it for hybridizing. If it is so close to the other one that you can't tell them apart, I'd never register it.
