I like this one best.

Couldn't agree more. As much as I wanted the Grand to fill that need, it doesn't quite get us there (particularly given the bizarre decision not to light the spire). The Handel design has the potential as it is the most elegant and skyline defining of the three designs. Hopefully its chosen as the winning design, and hopefully they are given the direction (or opportunity) to increase the height. The current design could easily accommodate an additional 500-600 feet to create a more graceful peak and define the LA skyline....
One potential redesign (mine)....
