hi dr bbb,
personally i feel that the difficulty level doesn't increase. its the same. but you will definitely be more prepared than the first attempt.
good luck.

87 and 88 are good numbers..If i am in the same boat..how about other aspects of your application..like work exp..letters, overall resume etc etc..
may be you can think of part 2.. and improving other things in your resume..rather than retaking.. i knw people are scoring like crazy..90 plus is like so common..but still think and decide wisely about what you want to do.
btw, difficulty level is same, its just that you are more prepared second time..but still every paper has some bouncers..

I really think that 87 is a good score. Believe me, they look at your whole application (TOEFL, experience, personal statement...)not only your part 1 score. It is nice if you have a high score, and your score is high enough. Don't waste time. Best luck to you!
