In context of the just the ESB/ CB perspective, the BoA doesn't capture the same essence the Vanderbilt will with the art decoish tapered spire. Too post modern. When zoomed out to all of Midtown, the BoA along with Condé Nast plus the others certainly do...as with that second photo. And will really look amazing in a few years when all those talls are topped out around CP.
