Yea, you want to use the same values, and voltage should not be less either.

also, a good example is C28 there in the picture (and) using tantalums.

The pad configuration on the pcb is not for tantalum caps. so you have to be careful, not only does the leaky goo from caps cause corrosion, but it gets between the PCB and the epoxy, and causes the epoxy to flake/peel off. Then when you use tants, and then over solder as well, it can cause solder bridges.
