Wow, beating the Central Park Tower by 1 foot? This may force Extell to bring back the spire! In this case I hope it won't reach 1775 ft as originally proposed, but at least 1777 ft so that 1WTC will no longer be the tallest. In general I despise disproportionately tall spires but having a 230 ft spire on the 1550 ft CPT is much more reasonable than having a 408 ft spire on the 1368 ft 1WTC.
As far as the latest design of Tower Fifth, I do think it looks a bit too similar to 432 Park Avenue. If the two buildings were much farther apart that wouldn't be an issue, but they are so close. I also agree with others that the protruding platform looks strange, if not awful. We might get used to it after a while though, just like we have gotten used to the one that 30 Hudson Yards has.

The 2000 ft (610 m) Chicago Spire would look great in NYC! Keep the exact same design to save some money, but change the name to New York Spire!
