Yes, different material sounds slightly different. Tim Price, and a few others play on specially crafted wooden necks.
That being said--your sax playing friend is right. At a certain level it's the archer not the bow.

I'm in the camp that believes that it's the geometry of the bore of the horn that most affects the sound, not material or thickness.
