For Hard mode, yes. Everyone will find the first boss to be harder than the second.

After debuff & w/ underway replenishment, your Zuikaku/Shoukaku/Musashi could OHKO CV Hime / BB Hime while even Kongou could bring them to Chuuha/Taiha in one hit. The Friend Fleet is also of much higher quality with Iowa / Yamato fleet.

The first boss though, your fleet gets a measly 1.15~1.2 post cap damage and anyone less than Musashi couldn't OHKO the BB Himes (even Yamato could hardly do the job since you need to swap out her AP shell to turn her into a fast ship). You can't expect anything more than 100 damage during night battle unless you lucked out and get a crit.
