I've had both...not at the same time, but still.

Hmm...I don't know if I see that as a problem and as far as I know it's only there in the beginning of the envelopes. The envelopes in Jupiter-6 are very fast. Just raise the attack a small step and it will go away.

As far as I remember MKS-80 rev 4 has the same "problem", but not rev 5. I'm not sure about it though.

Yes. There is a bass boost circuit in MKS-80, but you can easily achieve the same thing by using an external EQ.

No, not automatically. But you can use dual mode and disable VCO2 on the first patch and VCO1 on the second patch. Unfortunately you'll lose four voices then.
