Yes, better to compare DCA's with the original Tower at DisneyWorld (which, btw, is technically No. 1, while DCA's is appropriately No. 2).

While not as grandly excentric gothic as No. 3 in Japan, the original has a 20's Hollywood styling that is much more appealing and creepy than the design chosen for California. If you look at the level of detail in the original, you'll see that it's about as ornate as the DCA version, but in a different architectural style. The price tag for the exteriors would, I suspect, be similar.

I'm willing to concede that the luxurious detail of the Tokyo DisneySeas version comes with a higher cost, but I remain convinced that the exterior work represents a small fraction of the overall attraction cost. The descriptions on the page that mousepod linked to above sound like the same old, quickly boring show scenes that we have in DCA. What a shame.
