I decided to create my own concept which mixes the two versions:

Note that I based it on the original GOUT one. In this variant, most of the original lighting parameters are kept and the new building Leia is in is now smaller and somewhat more colour-matched, making the entire scene look as if it's higher from the surface of the city and giving back that sense of perspective while keeping some new 2004 SE elements.

very nice mock-up. the main problem i have with that shot is the previous fly-through scene which would mean having to do a lot of work to match the colouring of the buildings.

That is provided that you have to keep the fly-through. Personally, if it meant waiting a few months longer, I would prefer the overall shot to look like this, even if you have to alter and enhance the fly-through (if you keep it) to match this.
