Yea I'm sure they can tell the difference. Probably a good $8 to $12 million. People here are being totally unrealistic here. You might as well forget that first design ever existed, it was never even remotely in step with reality. Even after switching to the more modest design, funding clearly remained a major issue and even today there is no guarantee this is even getting built.
This is not 20th and Market. Even with recent improvements to this area, this is not a prime piece of real estate, at least not right now. This plot is still primarily surrounded by a sea of parking lots and faces a concrete wall of 676. Sure the first design is much nicer, but if we can't get the first, the second rendition of the tower would be a great addition to this area.
