TPythia6Decayer questions

I have a couple of questions on using TPythia6Decayer.

o For one specific decay channel, is it correct that one will get the exactly the same particle decay properties, e.g. pT distribution as when running PYTHIA directly?

o Some decay channel are missing in TPythia6Decayer. For example, phi->pi^0 + e^- + e^+. One can create such decay by manually editing the Decay Table and then read it back. Will the result the same as one directly run PYTHIA? Actually, does PYTHIA has this decay channel as a default or one has to add it in manually anyway?

Thanks
