I can't say I'm really bothered. I think the crystal doowikies on top looked a bit better on the NCC, but it's such a small difference that I can't see too many people caring. Produce these "most people you know".
Modelers, mostly- we notice all the small diffrences. The NX version has a correctly scaled bridge (a big silver teardrop shape), for example, while the NCC's bridge is a tiny pea- meaning that Sulu and company are snug in the B-Deck and that Excelsior has starfleet's first recessed bridge design. There's also a dome towards the rear of the ship that I greatly prefer to the odd box structure there on the STVI version.
Bernd has (as always)a big article on te diffrences and potential scaling issues.
Both NX, NCC and Refit versions are in service in TNG (the Hood, Lakota and all the ships destroyed on DS9 being examples).

Yeah....but times and attitudes change, and there have been several new designs since then so...

Nebula, Akira, Excelsior (Ent B edition, just for the looks).
This however, needs to go to Starships.
