Overall, I really like this one a lot, and I hope they don't fiddle with the design too much.
Yeah, it doesn't need a lot of work, but something more relatable to the base....

I say keep the spires. A lot of the spindly supertalls that New York has been getting lately would be terrible candidates for spires since they are already very slender buildings. New York could use a few more "new spires" on the skyline on some of the new bulkier buildings to offset that trend.
I don't like bulky towers with spires. I think the BofA is too bulky for it's spire, and was glad when they canceled that spire at 3 Hudson Blvd. I'm more of an old school spire, like the slender towers downtown. I think the spires fit here the same way they would have on 3 WTC.
