What Changes Would You Have For "The Ultimate Computer"?

Oh...and sorry for the double post...I would have liked to have seen (as stated in the TOS-R Return of the Archons thread) either Landru OR the M-5 to be digitally masked with a different identity, instead of looking almost exactly like the Oracle in For The World is Hollow....

The Lexington captain had a chair with a headrest...not a bad idea the way the 1701 gets tossed around! Why didn't Kirk take that option or the the seatbelts? Did he go for the undercoating instead?
Apparently, Commodore Wesley contracted out to a furniture dealer in the Mirror Universe.
Did anyone spot all the little differences between the ships? Other than the throne-like chair from the original, the Lexington now had four forward porthole windows (or sensor pad arrays depending on who you ask). I think the main bridge viewscreen was curved around the edges too, which I thought was really cool.
The new, digital versions of Constitution class vessels all seem to portray these as windows - you can see blobs of bright color in there in "In a Mirror, Darkly" and "The Ultimate Computer" alike, signifying doors, furniture or people clad in TOS uniforms.
I wonder if any of the "The Ultimate Computer" ships had the old "The Cage"/"Where No Man" configuration with three small roundels instead of large ones? Now there we could and should argue that the center circle at least is a sensor or auxiliary deflector dish, because it flashes on and off in "Where No Man". Or did they throw a wild party at Six-Forward when Kirk wasn't looking?

In the upcoming Remastered "Court Martial," you will even be able to see Denise Okuda in a red miniskirt uniform in one of the stardrive/engineering section windows in one of the closeups of the Enterprise as she orbits the planet with Starbase 11.
