I like 360 for the same reason. It has some of the best detail and contrast on the skyline. And the portions on both of those buildings are pleasing to the eye. Plus, the actually contributed in a big way to the nighttime skyline with their lighting, something that the newer buildings have sort of neglected.
I agree about One American Center, given that it is at least unique to Austin. 360, on the other hand, has a carbon copy in Atlanta and I am glad it will no longer be such a prominent defining feature of our skyline.
