Yes.

I'm another of the ones who reconstruct it, rather than having it exactly the way it was. But once it's in, it's in.

During high school, I always hated playing different arrangements of the same tune. The first one was always "how it should sound" once I had learned the Horn, 3 Saxes, Flute, and Trombone parts for it.

Then I realized that the second arrangement was hard for me to learn, but the third one wasn't... and it gave me the freedom from "this is how it IS PLAYED" to make my own arrangements of it.
