It makes it really hard to compare one on one.

Agree on Telus Sky, it's always been one of my fav towers in Canada. There's simply nothing quite like it.
My comments a few days ago were simply that I think CIBC is the nicest office tower to up in Canada in the last 20 years. (Telus Sky is mixed use). I have never personally understood the hype for The Bow. To me its a nice tower but looks a bit awkward, reminds of the Great Wall Of China, and Im not a huge fan of the cladding. I understand why others may like it as it is an original design and quite unique. Aesthetically speaking I prefer CIBC (the cladding is more modern, the discreet diamond pattern makes the towers stand out and I love the LED features). It's all subjective though, we all have our own opinions.
