At this rate, my guess is that Trump will top out sometime at the end March, if not a bit sooner. I know that it's supposedly 925' high, but with only 20 floors to go, is it going to be much higher than BA without the spire?

60-70 feet higher.
Not including the quarter-half-onion dome thingie, which is really more part of the spire structure then the roof, but is apparently strangely counted as part of the roof.
The south-facing KPMG sign will be (literally) right in someone's face on the highest north-facing units of Trump...See Current's photos from Oct. 29.
I wonder if they'll have to compromise with the lighting level..perhaps turn that sign off after 11:00 pm or something? Anyone know?
I know I wouldn't want it right across from my bedroom.

Toto, from the diagrams I have seen over at Skyscraperpage.com, it appears that the flat topped roof of Trump will reach about 240 metres, give or take. This is roughly in line with the height of Commerce Court West. The top of the onion dome is to reach about 260 metres, or roughly the tip of the TD Canada Trust Tower at Brookfield Place. The spire will then rise to the final height of 282 metres.
All of this is completely speculative, as different diagrams have been drawn with different proportions. The new renderings are very misleading as well, seeing how construction appears to be more in line with the older, green rendering. Also note how the floor count on the thread says "60ish". There have been rumblings about additonal floors being added, although I am not completely sure of the status this development. I think it's safe to say however, that we'll have to wait until the end of construction regarding the details of Trump's final height.
mmmmm...... additional floors...if its not just a miniscule rumour i might just go ahead and pee my pants that would be awesome if there were more, i talked to a construction worker and he said 61. but i'm not sure if this is accurate
