While the author was down on it (and critics apparently, but that's not hard), I actually quite like the current Tower Bridge. The supporting arcs are kind of soft, fluid, and beautiful in contrast with the rigid stone towers. Almost like a blue fabric scarf falling from the structure.

That being said, the alternative looks more synergistic. I bet it would have looked incredible had it been constructed.
