The question was whether increasing the power level by 3 dB would have a positive impact (coverage and investment considered).
My suggestion to show you the impact of 3 dB is to reduce your current power level by 3 dB and see what the difference sounds like. Then decide if 3 dB is worth it for your site, before you spend the money. Keep in mind that adding 3 dB could cause additional hidden problems, but at least you'll have a real-world idea of the difference. The other consideration is whether you are coordinated for the higher power level. You could loose your coordination if changes are made that are not within the parameters of your coordination.

These people will only notice 3 dB in their dreams. We could change power on their repeater day to day and they'd never know the difference.
