Please make clear the situation:
Which year the antenna to 443 m was added?
Which year the antenna was increased to 448.7 m?
Why skyscraperpage write 448.7 m, but CTBUH write 443 m?

I guess in no year. In 1984 a new antenna was put in place. In German Wikipedia I read it has been increased to 448,7m. Some sources give the other way round. So I´m not sure about this. But why should a former antenna been taller?

German Wikipedia gives 448.7 m
English Wikipedia gives 443 m
It must be equal and correct information.
Who know the truth?

The antenna was supposed to be decreased to 1,454 ft, but I don't recall if that happened.

Honestly, it changes so frequently that I don't know what it was for. They usually keep a listing on the website.

I still can't believe they're making it.

But look at the back of that photo, the Setai seems to be taking on the same color as the ESB in one place. Coincidence (construction lights?) , or will that building's glass really reflect the ESB? If so that'd be pretty cool.

It's a reflection of the ESB. The Setai is glassier that it would appear to be up close.
