I.e. can you drive the mixer, filter, and amp in various ways? All those things on the way to the output will have an impact.
Eusti's comparison, while thorough, is also meaningless because each synth will shape the saw differently on the way to it's output so the "differences" you see is not necessarily because the saw is different.
Finally, regarding your first question. The Serum saw is nothing special. It's set to a 180 phase by default meaning that it actually starts from the middle (i.e. at the bottom). So basically it's just like this:

Any chance you can share some of your nerdy findings using Europa for any examples that us mear mortals might find helpful?
