Noticed that before too when ported my delphi code. I vote yes for both 
- it will simplify the porting.

It is better to handle paticular exception types in the user code than 
generic Exception class and therefore such differences may cause a 
malfunction of the application.

Btw, this article may be very useful for the task you are doing:
