No, though I read differently all the time. Prilled dolo lime should be used exactly the same way and in exactly the same amounts as powdered dolo lime is. They will behave the same way within the soil mix as soon as the clay begins to dissolve, which happens as soon as moisture is added.
I do have a friend who swears by prilled lime because he believes it creates mini-zones within the soil mix... where a pellet sits and then dissolves, the dolo lime will effect the surround area. He does the same with most of his amendments, by the way. He believes that allowing for these variable zones within your soil mix allows the plants' roots and the various forms of microbes, nematodes, fungi, etc. (who all prefer varying pH and nutrient ranges) to find their preferred zone, as opposed to mixing your soil amendments all globally, which creates one single environment within the container with a universal nutrient content throughout and a universal pH throughout.
His argument is that a soil mix that is globally mixed will automatically cater to a much narrower range of biology. And it gives plants' roots no "choice" of environment.
