Madison, WI or Wilmington, DE?
They look similar TO ME, but going with Wilmington because it looks like there's more there. Raleigh NC or Richmond VA?

Richmond, VA definitely wins. More density and towers.

Raleigh will build more in the upcoming decade I think, but for now, Raleigh's skyline has just a handful of towers.

Milwaukee, WI or Cincinnati, OH?

Although Milwaukee appears to be more spread out, Cincinnati wins due to having less gaps and better balance.

Sacramento, CA or Buffalo, NY?

I prefer Sacramento but they both seem similar in size. Columbus OH or Indianapolis IN?

This one is good. I prefer Columbus's skyline because it looks newer and more complete. Indianapolis has potential with having more surface lots and rehabs.

Raleigh, NC or Ft. Worth, TX?

Wow good match up. I'm going to go with Raleigh on this one because I think it's got a little more architectural diversity compared to what I saw when I was in Ft. Worth.

St. Paul or Tampa?

Tampa wins this match-up. Tampa has a decent amount of skyscrapers over 300 feet, like 15 or so, but still low for its metro population size. But it has a couple in planning/under construction, so things are getting better.

Jacksonville, FL or Birmingham, AL?

Jacksonville, FL or Birmingham, AL?
Jacksonville has a prettier skyline, so I prefer Jacksonville. Birmingham has greater structure density, but is not as memorable.

Los Angeles, CA or Philadelphia, PA?

I'm going to go with LA for this match-up. The mountains and the backdrop are the difference makers for me here.

LA is also just starting to come into its own with skyscraper development, and should have a good 20 or so more in the next 5 years+. Philly is no slouch either, but overall LA's is more aesthetically pleasing.

Jersey City, NJ or Atlanta, GA?

Atlanta for me. Jersey City is dense and fairly tall, but it's not as expansive or interesting as Atlanta's IMO.

Lexington KY or Knoxville TN?
