Totally agreed. Architecturally, the new complex knocks the old one out of the water. I think that most people who say they prefer the original are just being nostalgic. And perhaps the original twins made for a more iconic skyline.
Plus, (this is really a personal opinion) the site just isn't appropriate for very radical architecture. It would just seem a bit inappropriate. This is part of why I dislike BIG's proposal. Downtown has always had a more refined, classy aura.
