A few olives and she'd be the Antipastoprise.

Okay serious thing I dislike about the SNW Enterprise: The bussard collectors. They've copypasted NX-01's, which have an uninteresting red mist swirling about inside. Why do that when those crisp spinning blades on the original TOS model, painstakingly recreated (in blue) in the Kelvinverse ship look so amazingly cool?
I haven't paid much attention to it but this does look good.The Discovery Enterprise has spinning blades in it's nacelles...
What? No multicolored Christmas tree blinkies inside flashing at predictable intervals??? #CanonViolation!
That, except unironically.
Seriously, I was disappointed when I couldn't spot them.

I suspect that there will be plenty of time for "refits" during the course of the series. I still think they're leaving themselves some wiggle-room to make subtle adjustments to the ship model to get it closer to TOS without going full-on 60's.
As long as it is refit to WNMHGB looks when Kirk takes over, , I will hold my nose.
Nope, I don't want it to look like it did in TOS anymore. I hope the retcon is permanent. In fact, I wouldn't mind them retconning the Refit. Keep the Disco/SNW main hull and secondary hulls basically the same but add the new bridge and impulse engine. Lose the deflector dish and extend the secondary hull forward for the new deflector, perhaps beef up the shuttlebay area and add the Photon Torpedo tubes to the interconnecting dorsal and fit new warp engines on the existing pylons. Keep the slots in the pylons if you like. Then change the font and she's good to go.
A new Miranda along the same lines would be nice too. However I doubt it'll happen as the Refit still looks good. The TOS Connie has always looked dated to me and the Disco version has quickly become my favorite Starfleet ship design. Unlike the awful job they made of the various JJprise designs from the new movies all of which were terrible.
Funnily enough the rest of the fleet from the 2009 movie, the Kelvin, Mayflower etc looked great, much better than all the ships from Disco apart from the Enterprise. If we could have the Disco/SNW Connie and the Kelvin universe ships (not the Vengeance though!) for the rest of the fleet (suitably sized down) it would be a really good looking TOS Starfleet IMHO

Here's some nice WIP fan art to hold you over

That's pretty! And I agree with Stuart Wilson that we should see some Kelvin-era contemporary ships in the background of this series (a missed opportunity in Discovery, IMO), as they would have all been built prior to the timeline split.
The Discovery Enterprise has spinning blades in it's nacelles...
Were they like that on Discovery as well?
Yep! She had the rotating blades all through the appearance on Discovery.
Screencap of final scene of S1's "Will You Take My Hand" from Trek Core. First appearance of the ship. Looks like it has the spinny blades, but a lot more diffused than what's shown here now.
You can kind of see them in this poster

Huh, I was sure it was just generic swirls of plasma. Apologies. Still not as well done as the TOS ship version, though. I recall the effort the TOS-R people went through (or was it one of the fan films?) to recreate it accurately in CGThe Discovery Enterprise has spinning blades in it's nacelles...
Which version of TOS nacelle Cap animation?
I ask because in the original effects, they showed the 1701 nacelle caps as both 'spining' and in a few other third seson shots with 'pulses/flashes' of energy inside (similar 'flashes' to those used for the Zetarians in TOS S3 - "The Lights Of Zetar").
In TOS Remastered all the nacelle caps shots were of the 'spinning' caps.
