It depends whether you write ax²+bx+c or a+bx+cx². Both forms are 
convenient, and the latter expands better in cases of variable degrees 
(letters don't get renamed when adding a term), but the former is more 
common for cases that have only a degree fixed at 2 or 3.

Those filters are all linear. This means that you can effectively commute 
them with a constant gain [*~] without any difference. However, it will 
make a difference when the gain of [*~] changes quickly while the main 
input changes too.

Well, I was thinking of it in terms of 1/H(z) or 1/gH(z).

But are you sure that you got the signs right in the denominator ?

oops.
