The criticism of Babaev and Silaev notwithstanding, we conclude that our analysis is correct. We have found in our papers on two-band superconductors close to Tc, where the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory applies, that these materials are characterized by a single order parameter, governed by a single correlation length. In the GL domain, the order parameters of individual bands are proportional to each other. This happens due to the unavoidable inter-band Josephson coupling. Consequently, in the regime where the GL theory applies, these systems are either type-I or type-II superconductors with no room for so called "1.5-type" superconductivity. This conclusion does not mean that at lower temperatures, outside of the GL domain, the inter-vortex interaction cannot have interesting properties, however, the latter cannot be addressed with the standard GL formalism.
