Same exact VCA design and topology, minus the Carnhill output iron of the Rack unit. In my experience the 500 Series P3500S is just as useful as the Rack unit [as they are the same design and compressor] but the P3500S has less low mid thunder and thickness, that's all. Nothing to lose sleep over, really. It is a cleaner option, but its not like these transformers make the P3 so much different that it would be the only option to use on the buss. That's certainly NOT the case at our studio.
