Not as far as I can tell. The Prodigy manual says, "Each incremental boost setting
increases the sensitivity of the P3's inertial sensor, enhancing the participation of the trailer brakes during a braking event."
But the it says, "With the boost off, during a braking event, the power to the brakes starts out at zero and increases with deceleration. With the boost on level B1, during a braking event, the power automatically starts out at approximately 13% of the power setting and increases with deceleration. With the boost on level B2 or B3, during a braking event, the power automatically starts out at approximately 25% of the power setting and increases with deceleration."
It doesn't specifically state the difference between boosts B2 an B3, although it recommends B3 for bigger trailers.
