Absolutely!  The FT-991 will be much more noisy, suffer much more QRM
from adjacent signals and suffer much more blocking from strong signals
on the other end of the band.

Anyone who has had a K3 and an Icom 756 Pro or TS-480 side by side and
on the same antenna system can tell the difference in a few minutes of
use.

73,
