Well, the beacon would be dominant at night, regardless. The spire itself was to have a "texture" to it that would also be enhanced by lighting at night.
What we have now will be another Conde Nast antenna (but with a beacon!) I'm sure it will look nice, but the best designs look great no matter the time of day.
Imagine a beacon on top of the Chrysler. Overkill. If this mast is ruled a spire, that's fine. It won't change the look, unfortunately.

That won't affect Durst's business one bit. It's being built for broadcasting, the focal point of the Durst broadcasting "empire", with Conde Nast serving as backup.
He gets to have his cake, and eat it too.
