On balance, I agree with the monochrome version being better, although I wonder if a halfway house, partially desaturating the colour version (and perhaps moreso over the red and green areas), would be better still.
I also think the foreground buildings are a bit dark in the mono version and the whole photo could perhaps also do with a crop to tighten it up.
