I think on the side view they are a little too far down, but compared to the proportions of the Miranda, they are pretty close to the same. A couple of quick comparisons to show you what I mean. Of course, the Surprise is much bigger than a Miranda....

I didn't want to go with the straight down struts because it didn't look as good IMHO.

Oh, and here is the first version compared with the Loknar.

Not bad considering I didn't really refer to the TMP ships until AFTER I had done the Surprise versions. I did them by eye and adjusted to what looked "right" to me first.
