Is there any print quality difference switching from brass to steel?

Brass has better thermal conductivity compared to steel or hardened steel but it has also far less wearing resistance especially compared to hardened steel that among brass and normal steel has the worse thermal conductivity.

Basically all 3D printer use brass despite is softer and also more expensive metal than steel.

Shouldn't the lower thermal conductivity impact only the time needed to bring it to the established temperature? Is there any noticeable difference in print?
