Should I add extra hops in the boil vs dry-hopping?

I really enjoy my IPA with Citra hops. I have done some minimal dry-hopping which gives me a great citrus flavor and aroma, in addition to adding cascade and citra to the boil. I have no aversion to dry-hopping, but am still working to get my arms around all the facets of brewing and how they affect the outcome. Can you get similar results to dry-hopping by adding that additional 1 oz of Citra near the end of the boil or are we talking apples and oranges, so to speak? Thanks.

This is a partial grain extract 5 gallon recipe

.5 lb Belgian Aromatic Malt 15-30 Minutes @ 155F
