There is 15% increase in base component but just 5% increase in total overall package as my current company's misc cash benefits is better.
Should I nego? I'm at early-mid career if it matters.

You should definitely negotiate! I can confidently say that most employers expect candidates to negotiate. But the important thing is not to negotiate just for negotiations sake. When I negotiated my latest offer, I sent the hiring manager a list of points on why the company needs someone like me, the value I would bring to the company, and justifying the amount I negotiated for (additional $400 basic with $50 phone bill subsidy).
