Cut and paste the URLs. Look at the two engines. Unlike the physical model that had no "engine remains" (though the Aztec pattern was later painted with spots at where the saucer engines would be), the Honshu CGI model's engines, while shaped into the hull, have the grill lines. My only guess is that this type of engine doesn't glow and/or these engines that we see are actually covers over the real engines inside the saucer.
The real world reason, probably, is that the Nebula CGI was made from the Galaxy CGI which would explain the more detailed saucer and more elliptical secondary hull.

Just a little additional info: I just watched 'Image in the Sand' and 'Shadows and Symbols' and guess what I found? There's a shot showing a Galaxy at DS9 (not docked, but floating near the upper pylons). There are also some Warbirds and the nose section of a Vor'cha visible, but it was the Galaxy that got my interest: it seems to be a never-again-used shot, and it doesn't look CGI. Just wanted to let you know that this could be the Moore. The only other shot of a Galaxy at DS9 was the Venture (if you don't count the Enterprise/Odyssey-shot which hasn't been reused since then), reused one or two times. Not much to offer, but a beginning. Well, it could be...

I'm convinced the Moore is CGI. For those with the SOTL 2002 calendar, compare the detail of the Challenger (in the centrefold) with the Moore. In particular the detail of the phaser array and the lifeboat hatches are sure signs that both of these Galaxys are the same model.
