The more Meyer strayed from the original the more I liked it in it's own right. AND I really enjoyed the alternative ending for Beau, but I wouldn't have wanted it to go down that way for Bella.
I would say that while I preferred the original, that's only because when I first read it, those ten years ago, I liked imagining I was Bella :-).
So yes most of the main elements are the same: human meats 'good' vampire, human figures out 'good' vampire is a vampire, human and 'good' vampire fall in love, a 'bad' vampire tires to kill human and all the 'good' vampires go into overdrive to protect human, ordinary human outwits 'good' vampires and heads off to their doom.
Bella goes on to have more human adventures and catastrophes before becoming a 'good' vampire.
Beau comes out of this book as a 'good' vampire and has to face Sam's wolf-pack.
