I think that depends on who you ask. Most people don't feel like it is legitimate, nor should they. I'm not against spires, but sticking a giant needle on top of a building that is 1368 to the roof and saying that is taller than a building that is 1451 to the roof is bogus.
They ought to find a way to increase the roof height. Perhaps they could rap the communications ring in glass. If they counted it as the roof, it would bring the roof height to roughly 1400ft. That would at least be something. Plus, the architects are going to look really stupid when Durst makes it a thin antenna (which is not an architectural feature, and therefore not included as part of the building) without a radome. I sure hope that doesn't happen because that spire design is really pretty.
