And since Gryphon beat me to it, here's some pics I found for what I was going to post...

I'd hurt something if they broke up a Sovereign's lines like that. As far as the Galaxy goes, I'll paraphrase Caddyshack, "Do you get a free bowl of soup with that refit? Oh, looks good on you, though." :)

Interestingly, for Generations, they actually made the 1701-D a little wider than the tv model (if you can believe that) so it'd look a little more interesting on the wider screen in the movie. It was probably one of the reasons they crashed it, so as to facilitate the design of a new ship that would be better suited to CinemaScope, hence the 1701-E being long and sleek like it is. Your fun fact for the day...errr, night.
