I look at this and cry. That thing in the lower part of the image is just damned ugly!.
I don't think it's all that bad, really, we'll get used to it. It doesn't hold a thing on the refit, or the "A", though. I don't think anyone could ever top that.

I agree... The new (old) Enterprise is not all that bad. It has potential...
However, I don't agree with your statement about the A... It holds quite a bit on the A (too much, in my opinion). Most of the saucer hull and the front half of the neck look WAY too much like the A...
It's a bit like doing a movie about the life of Henry Ford, then deciding the front half of the Model T needs to look like a '65 Mustang...
