Default Maintaining target gravity for a partial boil

Does it make a difference to create a partial boil with the same gravity as a full boil? I know a lot of people read Brewing Classic Styles, Palmer says it creates the same "flavor development" as a full boil. Do people agree or disagree with this?

I absolutely agree. There will be less maillard reactions (a darkening and sweetening of the wort) and better hops utlilzation.

If you can't do a full boil, a late addition of the extract at 10 minutes or less will help greatly.
