First time they increased the height by 16', now by 8', do u see a pattern there ? Next height increase will be by 4', then 2' then 1', then 0.5' ... Ultimately it'll end up being close to 1286'. Go ahead, call me a geek, but I might end up being right. (j/k)

I hadn't noticed it, but it was changed here as well: WTC.com

Tower 2, also known by its street address, 200 Greenwich Street, features a sparkling glazed crystalline form and diamond-shaped summit that will create a bold addition to the New York skyline. Designed by Foster and Partners, the 79-story tower will be the second-tallest skyscraper on the World Trade Center (WTC) site and in New York City. Located east of the proposed performing arts center and north of the WTC Transportation Hub, Tower 2 will rise to 1,278 feet and be topped by an 80-foot antenna.
The tower will contain five levels of retail; 60 office floors, including a sky lobby, that total 2.8 million rentable square feet; and a 67-foot-high office lobby. It will have a total of eight entrances: five entrances from street level, one below-grade entrances from the WTC Transportation Hub, and two from the retail area. The first office floor begins at 278 feet above street level. A typical office area will offer 45,000 rentable square feet of space. Additionally, there will be four trading floors.

I'm sure the exact numbers will be cleared up eventually.
