The original version with the radome on both the communication rings and spantenna is the only version with any architectural credibility. Clearly Durst has no shame and clearly doesn't give a rats-ass about completing a building, only the almighty dollar.

CTBUH may have caved to misplaced 911 sentimentality, but it doesn't change the fact that this building is 1373' tall with a 409' guyed antenna. 432 Park Ave is currently the tallest in NYC and Sears is still the tallest in the country.

If somebody decides to actually complete the Spire (the only architectural element installed is the very tip housing the beacon) then we can start talking about 1776'.

Hell, the communication rings will never get those microwave antennas- not even fake ones.
