Depending on where you place the basement for "highrise" classification, perhaps. However, as you pointed out, "South Florida" and "Chicagoland" are not skylines, but rather vast urban areas of over 1,000 sq. miles.
When we compare the actual skylines in the central cities we get the following (including U/C):
over 400m:
Chicago - 2
Miami - 0
over 350m:
Chicago - 3
Miami - 0
over 300m:
Chicago - 7
Miami - 0
over 250m:
Chicago - 17
Miami - 1
over 200m:
Chicago - 37
Miami - 9
over 150m:
Chicago - 133
Miami - 62
over 100m:
Chicago - 338
Miami - 127

As the data clearly indicate, Chicago is firmly ahead.
The Miami skyline is definitely in 3rd for 150m buildings, but it could really use some taller stuff to take it to the next level.
