Rye in starter vs Rye in final recipe

Hi All,


This is a general question regarding artisan bread baking.


When looking into a recipe, say Hamelman's Vermont sourdough,


What's the difference between using 10% rye in the overall recipe (starter is 125% hydration bread flower only) and using some of the rye in the starter?


How do that change the flaour / fermentation of the dough?


Thanks a lot,


David
