If I understand correctly, WPS is being measured from the Riverwalk while WPE from street level which is a 22' difference apparently. WPS is 835' from Riverwalk and 813' from street level, so if you compare their tops it is WPS at 813' vs WPE at 665' (cbtuh has 668'). WPS is (sadly) shorter than 110 Wacker on the skyline.

https://www.chicagoarchitecture.org/...ed-back-again/ shows diagrams and the first render is pretty accurate, and if anything shows WPS a little taller in the render given a tiny bit of perspective effect.
