I thin you're right that if you count all buildings over 12 stories that Saskatoon has slightly more. But the top 4/5 tallest buildings in the province are in Regina...and the next 2 that will be in the top 5 are currently underway in Regina.
However, what Saskatoon lacks in height and attractive architecture downtown is certainly made up in natural beauty and perspectives (coming over the bridges into downtown).

Actually, another reason the the zoning. Regina has an "office policy" that allows offices over a certain square meters in three locations: downtown , a part of Harbour Landing and another spot I can't remember. So the density of office space is quite concentrated, (similar to Calgary's downtown office policy I have heard).
