If the functionality is the same, I think it is a good idea to follow existing forms. Otoh, if you can extend the functionality then you should modify them. If you can modify them while maintaining a similar "feel", that is really good. (Example: some people have come up w/ modified time selection dialogs that improve upon the original while keeping a similar feel)
