Sure we have more 100m+ but 100m-150m doesn't make a huge skyline impact in cities of that scale. But every extra bit of height makes a much greater difference at the top where it isn't surrounded by other stuff, and there's nearly a 100m difference between the tallest in the two cities. For me there would need to at least one quality building well over 350m to decisively surpass Chicago in terms of skyline. Especially given how iconic some of their supertalls are.

True, but even with Chicago's 442m, we still have the CN Tower at 553m. Even though not a skyscraper it's still a building that defines the skyline.
