Molten salt towers don't heat above 800 iirc. If they were designed for storing more energy it would come from more mass. It goes without saying that the benefit of salt is reduced once it becomes gasified.

I’m not meaning to “correct” your statement, because the actual practicalities of these systems Is not my expertise and there may be other much more significant factors to consider
