Nope. There isn't any difference in the characteristic of the
attackphase. This is psychoacoustic: you hear what you want to hear.
Electrically the type of the envelope circuit (loading / unloading a
capacitor) is completely the same on both modules.

The correct patch of a velocity voltage for a velocity controlled
signal-level is like this:

You need one exp-VCA and one lin-VCA

The VCO-signal is sent to the signal-in of the lin-VCA and the
signal-out of the lin-VCA is the outputsignal

The envelope (any Doepfer envelope) is sent to the signal-in of the
exp-VCA, the signal-out of this exp-VCA is sent to the control-input of
the lin-VCA which carries the audio signal.

The velocity voltage from your interface is connected to the
control-input of the exp-VCA which handles the level of the envelope.
