Yes to the yield, no to the modulus. I said "more elastic" meaning steel can stretch further without failing to return to shape (i.e., its yield point is higher) and not that it is easier to stretch (i.e., its higher modulus and greater thickness make it harder to stretch). I was just avoiding the engineering terminology for those unfamiliar with it.
