Thanks man much better
Edited for a better look.
Aye. She's beautiful.
Considering how mesmerizingly awful she could have ended up looking with the production designers on this show.

I was worried she'd look like that NXified version that was posted a few days ago. I'm glad that wasn't the case. I have no complaints about the Discoprise. 
They took elements from the original and refit designs and smashed them together with a touch of NX-01 (which was itself derivative of more original designs). It's hard to lose when you copy things that work, but I'd be hard pressed to say the production designers actually contributed anything to this version of the ship.
The nacelles are a little more NX-ified than the original ship but I've been hearing for a while now that they originally wanted the inner chiller bars/grills on the Enterprise nacelles to glow on TOS but the series just didn't have the budget to do it. They got everything else right, including the round, reddish-orange Bussard collectors and the slotted vents at the rear of the nacelles instead of the spheres.
Yup! I noticed the slotted vents too! yippie!
I dig it. Not perfect, but better than I expected. Clearly recognizable as the classic Enterprise. Looked like they'd perforated the nacelle struts, or doubled them up, and I didn't like that. They also seem to have extended the shuttle bay floor in an odd fashion. But believable enough as the TOS ship for me.
Overall, I find it much more appealing than the over-compensating Abrams hot rod-Prise.

The Enterprise feels beefier.
I noticed that the pylons connecting to the nacelles to the secondary hull had an open space in them. It's an interesting design choice.

There appears to be a variant uniform in the auditorium where Burnham makes her speech, but they’re out of focus.
I feel like I’ve seen that before, recently. Same place too
Edit:
Oh John Eaves NX-01 concept art has holes in the pylons just like that.
I noticed those, too, but it looks like they were lighter-colored versions of the standard DSC duty uniform. There was a quick shot of them in sharper focus.
The Starfleet pennant on the sides of the nacelles and the stardrive section look like the TOS pennants. The proportions for the deflector dish and its color look more or less right. The underside of the saucer is almost exactly like the TOS Enterprise with the possible exceptions of the "NCC-1701"s on either side of the lower sensor dome, but they could have been there during the flyby and I just didn't see them.
You can see lights lighting up that part of the hull, so I think there are.
I hope we don’t have to wait very long to get official renders for this thing.
I can't wait to see the eventual Eaglemoss version.
They didn’t have department piping
