I think that Comcast actualy enhances the Liberties, because it's so... flat and (IMO) unattractive, your eye goes right to the Libs and you appreciate them more. I'm not sure if the same effect will be there when CITC is finished.

I kinda wish they'd design a "3 Liberty Place", and make it the city's tallest (for however long that lasts.) I get that it's impossible in real life, but very possible in my dream world.
I agree about the Liberties' dimness. You used to be able to see them miles away, shocking the night sky. Always was very exciting. Now? You can only make them out within city limits - and their overall effect is muted. Oh well.
