So, if I’m getting it, Raimund and Mark (two guys that both know a lot more than I do) are saying the same thing.  Bigger booster gives you no additional braking, it gives you the same braking with less effort.  You’ll FEEL like your van is stopping easier.

What they didn’t say but I wonder … with the bigger booster, while more effort does not give you more braking, seems like it would be easier to lock up the brakes.  ??
