That's a nice skyline, but I don't know, Des Moines has such a nice cohesive arch to it. Little Rock, Omaha, and Des Moines all seem to have pretty similar skylines. The density in Des Moines is actually one of its selling points, and I don't see significantly more in those pictures of Little Rock.

Here are a few of Des Moines for comparison:
