Yup, stats (ATK/DEF) are definitely higher (see below). So far, I managed to use only 2 friends per tier all the way thru Tier 59 w/ 3 knights and 2 friends on the first run and 3 knights w/ 0 friends on second run; also, I have not had to use any gems yet. I have 4 friends remaining for Tier 60, all Tect+ (> 2000/2500) so I'm hoping I can do it w/out any gems but am prepared to drop gems if needed; hopefully, I won't need any more than a few well-timed crit attacks so I only use a few gems rather than 10 or 12 to refresh.
