She is a beauty alright, but I'm not ready to call her Enterprise. I agree that each class that has included an Enterprise has been different but they all are good as the "hero" ship. In the shows the ship is primary piece of the background, they are almost a character in themselves. The Defiant was a fighter, always looked ready to mix it up, and the Intrepid was scrappy, not looking for a fight but up to one. They help with the story of the given show.
All the classes that have included an a ship of the line have, I feel, a grandeur in there design, including your Century class. The A through the D were explores. The E was a grand design but a defender as well, which was good given that all three movies it was in were war movies. The Century stuck a nice balance between looking tough and looking like an explore, a step back form the Sovereign but not all the way to the Galaxy.
This new one just looks to aggressive so far and I don't think that the number of phasr strips has anything to do with it, to some one how has no knowledge of Star Trek ship design they are just lines on the hull. It is the shape and line of the hull that give the the ship it's feel. Maybe play up the Galaxy class like elements, always felt that galaxy class was a bit to grand but could help here if any one understands what I am getting at.
