yes, because changing bore diameter changes volume within the system - however, if you doubled the bore, and halved the ratio of the MC, you can be assured that it would feel the same.
the stock patrol has a 1 inch bore and a 1:1 ratio (one inch bore, one inch stroke)
The wilwood MC I linked above has a 1:1.1 ratio (50/50 volume output), so it moves the same cross sectional fluid volume a 10% longer distance - which means it will feel just a TAD softer.
The Corvette MC I linked to above has a 1:1 ratio (also biased 50/50) so it should feel darn near identical to a stock Patrol MC
Here is a nice image that shows the interior workings of a 2 reservoir MC- note there are 2 pistons and two return springs , and the pedal activates them BOTH simultaneously:
