This whole discussion of the lost views of the Pru from the Boylston St. plaza remind me of similar complaints from residents of Harbor Towers, The Clarendon, and numerous other buildings regarding their possible lost or changed views!
Atlantaden -- Ultimately, the "Pru View" -- aka the view of not from the Pru -- improves the further that you are from it -- at least until the angle it subtends gets too small for the "Pru Effect"
That's why the the best view of the Pru is and will remain the iconic one from just between the Bldg 10 columns at MIT looking across Killean Court and then across the River up and over the Beacon St. wall and then suddenly the Pru launches upward with its family of "offsprings" surrounding it -- and particularly just at twilight -- and most iconically on the 4th
The new tower is just another member of the offsprings -- perhaps R2D2 is "Mrs Pru"?
