That's they're problem :)

To be honest. I think both versions are no good.
You are trying to put too must detail in 1 small ASCII-
pic. You were always good at small-ASCII, but these
leaning towers are just 'loose' ensembles of ASCII-chars.

Perhaps when you take the (larger) easy-to-see version and
fill it in with a repetition of architectural motifs it
might work. If you are not capable of doing the Pisa-tower
in small-ASCII, no-one else can. Maybe llizard... or Felix
Lee... or someone new I do not know.
