Think about the architecture of the old towers, that midcentury look a la Mies Van Der Rohe was highly bleeding edge, and was substantially more risky than many of the new buildings today because they had nothing else to compare to. If anything the old towers look more advanced and significant than the current crop, and would look more advanced if they were taller by any significant clip.
