Nope, not enough for anyone riding a bike to notice. Reynolds list 207 GPa for all their steels from 520 up to 953

Is stiffness not the more relevant figure for bicycle frames? The higher end tubes can be drawn thinner and maintain the same stiffness and therefore are lighter at the cost of being more prone to dents etc
Tubes in a frame are pulled, compressed, twisted, all of which stiffness = better
