I think you should keep the "Flipping the bird" rock...it's gives your tank some attitude. I could see myself indulging in the taste testing of hopps, to the point where I might think the rock was trying to pick a fight with me. Could turn out to be very entertaining for the folks of Canreef if you had a video camera, and put yourself in the situation

Like someone said earlier, I believe aquascaping is always a work in progress...you get your foundation pieces where you want them, and then you're always building off them, or moving pieces around trying new things. You can always find faults with rock work, but in the end, it's what makes you happy when you look into the tank.

if they are the same height it wont look random.

The more I think about it the less I think it really matters. So long as you allow room for corals (not built to high or too close to glass) and it's stable. The corals will hopefully transform that into something totally natural anyways. I think it'll work but for sure I would personally remove that love rock sticking straight up it doesn't quite look right.

Just play puzzle with them.
Try and get the rocks to naturally fit together by just placing them against each other.
The natural dropped in look is really good at starting the process.
