I think the refit looks just fine this way.
The CGI TMP Enterprise in that pic is very innacurate. Or maybe that was your point. Either way, it looks like crap.

I think it is the Discovery version with TMP nacelles and struts.
Yep. That's why it kinda looks squished.
I do as well. I think they have a lot of room to play with this Enterprise design.

Fans will be up in arms regardless.

Hmm never really had a list of preferred Enterprises.
If I was forced to choose it would be:
1. JJPrise 1701 and 1701A plus Discoprise - What can I say I appreciate the visual update and more realistic sizes
2. B/C/D/E - Fit their respective era's well although we never really saw much of the C
3. Vengeance & F - Odyssey class is nice but not canon otherwise it would be at number 2
4. TMP 1701 including refit plus 1701A - Grew up with it in the mid to late 80's but its visually dated for me
5. NX01/TOS1701 - Never liked the NX01 and the TOS 1701 is too visually dated for me

TMP Refit all the way baby!
That might have happened - the pre-TMP-post-Phase-II refit had a bunch of exactly that and most were removed before filming. Imagine what things would have been like if teh Interwebz was around back then.
OUTRAGE!!!!

I kinda subscribe to the idea that Disco and Picard are set in an alternate universe. Not a different timeline, just a different universe.
To me it's all the same story, in a single continuity, just with shifting aesthetics based on the production values of the given era in which they're filmed, like the changing cover art with every reprint of an old Asimov novel.

Just new versions/interpretations of Trek to me. I don't expect it all to line up, I just want something that does a decent job of capturing my imagination. So far, CBS is 1-for-2.
All they had to say is that Disco is not Prime... They had one job...
It is Prime though. They've said it over and over.
They also said TAS wasn’t canon. Until it was.
I think that what is takes precedence over what could be. I would have done a few things differently, but this is what we've got.
No, that's stupid. TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, and Picard are all in the same timeline, same universe, same continuity. Stop doing gymnastic contorting to rationalize something different just because a ship looks different from one show to the next. Why did the Enterprise change from episode to episode of TOS? Sometimes it had globes on the back of the nacelles, sometimes it had a grate (sometimes in the same episode!). The two different filming models were different, as well. Was each scene in a different universe? etc... etc... etc...
It's X-Men movieverse-level continuity in Trek these days. Discovery may have retconned the entire look of TOS, and put Nemesis-level forcefield tech into the old USS Shenzhou, put a proto-holodeck on the Discovery and made the old 1701 capable of launching a hundred fighter shuttles and drones, but it's close enough for them. That's the level of continuity they're going for.
