If the flights are on the same ticket, then you'd be protected in the event of a mis-connect. So by all means aim for the short connection.
If you are planning on separate tickets, I would suggest that the risk is too high. Of course a short connection can be done, but if you miss it, you will probably have to buy another ticket onwards.
