Then we're getting in the 20+ meters difference.
This new tower then will be the first tower in 30+ years, not at the front of the skyline (Cathedral Hill towers), to really pierce through the table top. From an Ottawa perspective, it's a table top breaker, but understanding that for most other major Canadian cities (and suburbs of Toronto and Vancouver), it's really not.

Yes, I'm sorry for the hyperbole but thanks for the clarification J.OT13
From many angles the Renaissance will just get buried. But from the south west (a common vantage) not only is it is a few metres taller than PDV-C but also about 200m closer and a couple metres higher elevation. As a result, it's going to look significantly taller.
