Yes, they do make different sized turbos which have different spool characteristics. But, that will never change the way that each system works.
A turbo is a reactive setup that is dependant on the other systems of the car. Is requires the right exhaust pressure to get going and aside from a 'anti-lag' or backfire setup there are no assurances that it will come out of boost and need to be re-spooled.
Turbo- dependant on exhaust pressure
Supercharger- dependant on pully speed/rpm
remember, the smaller the turbo, the less top end you have. Once you get out of the turbo's "effeciency range" it basically becomes an expensive hair-dryer.
There is no perfect setup either way... both have their benefits and drawbacks.

TRUE, but if you pick the properly sized turbo (IE don't go too big or too small) such as a t3 60 trim on a small 4 cyl you can spool around 2500 rpm and pull to redline I've seen impressive numbers from a t3 S60 on a 1.8T tuned properly will kick any 57 trim t3/t4
