Does killing the final boss of a vet dungeon in hard mode increase the chances of helm drop?

Usually you go into "hard mode" by reading a book which makes the final boss fight harder. This is required for the gold key in some vet pledges. However, if you're just farming for a monster helm and not doing the pledge, is there any need to fight the boss in hard mode?

When farming vWGT I noticed that Molag Kena always drops 12 Daedric Embers, both in normal and hard mode. So I know there is no difference in the amount of trophies dropped.

    I've always heard that Hard modes are a 4x increased drop chance. However I have no source to back this up....maybe @ZOS_GinaBruno or @ZOS_JessicaFolsom could settle it once and for all?

    When farming vWGT myself I've only ever got a helm from doing HM (5 in total) so I assume it to be the case.
