Well, it's free opinion! You don't and I do, I don't care either way. It does look dull to me.

I agree. Ashton only catches my attention from the south. Might be visible for a few seconds from Mopac, even though the W hotel will block it, but it will then blimp off. Well, it does balance the skyline with Congress Ave. in the middle, along with the Austonian and will-be W Austin Hotel and Residences. To my opinion, I think they're putting to much on the west of Congress, and if the Stratus Complex pops up, it will definitely unbalance the skyline. T. Stacy, Four Seasons, and 21C won't be enough to balance it. It will come close though.
