You can see a noticeable difference in the rebound qualities between a very soft boule (i.e. bronze AC Integrale) and a very hard stainless steel boule by dropping both, at the same time, upon a hard surface (marble works well) and seeing how high each boule bounces upwards.
I've tried this experiment and there is definitely a difference in the rebound qualities between very soft and very hard boules. BUT, when comparing 2 boules of closer hardness factors, the difference is not as distinct.
That said, the worth of a soft boule for a shorter rebound depends on other factors beyond metal-to-metal rebounds, namely, the coefficient of friction between the target boule and the terrain surface - the amount of back-spin (if any) and the angle of attack.
