The experience at Top of the Rock is much nicer, faster and more pleasant. You get to see the ESB from TOTR. The only thing is, TOTR has a great view of Central Park but if you go at night when it's dark, the park appears to be just a big dark hole (since it's not lit). I generally suggest people visit TOTR during daylight or dusk and ESB at night. The views and experiences are different.

Top of the Rock.
We went on a Thursday night at dusk, and stayed through sunset until it was dark and the city was lit up. It was beautiful. The fact that you get a timed entry and don't have to wait in hour+ long lines (like at the Empire St. Building) would decide for me. Also, I got great pictures of the Empire State Building.

very nice pictures!
I booked us for Top of the Rock at night, a half hr after Drowsy Chaperone gets out. I thought we'd be rushed to do it at dusk w/the plays each evening (and we eat dinner before the theater, don't like to eat late at night). Will include it in my trip report.
