Yup. One of the biggest complaints I've read over and over again about CTC is its north/south face width which of course adds greatly to that
illusion because it has the effect of making its cooling tower that much less significant; this is most pronounced the closer you are and in the light of day. It does however change depending on perspective. Although not a side-by-side comparison the east/west views diminish those concerns. From a great distance (Media PA) CTC actually 'appears' taller by day because that width is diminished & its mass blends in better with the cooling tower & lantern. Darkness will greatly favor CTC as well, once it's complete & the lantern is lit it will hands down dominate by night.
