Oh I agree J. Will, height is certainly not the end all be all. I think that architecture and design should carry a heavier weight then just sheer height. However, a lot of people still see a city getting a 1000 ft+ office or condo tower as a worthy benchmark to set and hopefully eventually reach. As Toronto already arguably has the third best skyline in North America (after NYC and Chicago imo), I think it is high time Toronto starts getting a 1000 footer here and there to fully put its skyline on the world stage.
