Can I break consistency in behalf of UX?

I'm working on a big platform. it has many tables. with consistent design.

Now, I'm designing a new page. and I think that it's better that these table rows will be smaller than across all platform tables. Can I break this consistency for UX? Is only changing the row padding considered breaking consistency?

The reason I think the rows should be smaller is that this table needs to be scanned through A LOT of items. it has pagination. none of our tables has pagination.
