Is it worth remaking characters from scratch?

There's great looking versions of the characters I want to use already, but I want to change pretty much everything else. Is it more trouble to edit an existing one than to just make it from the sprites up?

with my experience in editing stuff;
small things like adding a projectile, new punch even an new special move is less trouble than "remaking" from scratch.
but if you want really big changes like the entire moveset i recomend going for making from start with your code, your commands/config.

I kinda figured. What I'm trying to do is build a balanced roster. Most "massive roster" MUGENs seem to have 3-4 versions of the same character with no concern for how they are balanced, and the AI ranges from potato to Deep Blue.
