Personally, I'm much more excited about the new terminal than the tower. That's the more important project, IMO. In all honesty, I have to say that I'd probably be a little more enthusiastic about the tower had SOM's proposal been selected.

I agree on all counts. The Pelli tower is fine, but it is nothing to write home about, at least in the renderings, perhaps it will be more inspiring "in the flesh."
If you forced me to bet, I'd put my money on it not being built, at least in its current form. This whole thread should probably be moved to another section of the forums.
