So, whatever skill Yui has, Ui seems to have it too and better (or at least, is better at using it to her advantage).
Having a knack at guitar is not the same as having a good music sense or perfect pitch. Azusa is better at Yui at guitar, but she doesn't have perfect pitch. Ui has proven that she's skilled, but if that's where you're drawing your conclusions from it's not conclusively perfect pitch in any way.

Also, Ui has played "a little", but she could just be being modest. If she watches her sister play and learns the chords along with her sister, having dextrous fingers and a good tempo would be enough to play a song well.

Not saying that Ui isn't talented, but we aren't sure that Ui could completely replace Yui (music wise). Ui hasn't shown the perfect pitch or the knack at writing songs that Yui has yet.
