IMO, in the abstract, this tower would cross the threshold of phenomenal.
While I'm at it, is it plausible to suggest that that the architects could/would have done this were it not for value engineering considerations?

Yes, I think that would have looked stunning in the sky and really elevated the skyline view of the whole group of Hudson Yard towers. The feasibility and additional cost it would have entailed, I can't say. I think the Hudson Yards are shaping up to excel at street level but will be just average as far as the cumulative skyline they create.
