In Endgame, the Nova class ship was not only different from the Equidox but also bigger. It appears to be about the same size of the 2 Negh'Var class ships. It also appeared that she also was quite powerful compared to those two vessels.

Actually, it appeared much smaller than the Klingon ships to me.

You think the Nova was as large as the Negh'vars??? Then how big do you think Janeway's shuttle was when it was flying next to the Rhode Island? Using that logic, it would have to be at least as big as a Miranda class starship!

Nah, that ship was the same size as Equinox. (And I'm sure they used the same CGI model too, only with a few modifications.) The scene with the Negh'vars was just because the Rhode Island was a lot closer to the camera. That's all.
As for relative power, we got very little info about those Klingon ships, so we can't be sure just how badly they were damaged. And further, they STILL made it into the rift, so Captain Harry wasn't totally successful in keeping them away. (In fairness, though, all he really needed to do was keep them away long enough for Janeway to make it into the rift. She handled the rest.)

The Rhode Island was over the two Klingon ships so if the RI was closer to the camera, the two Neh'Vars would be even closer. I'm not entirely convinced that this was that "close-ranged, Warp 8 science vessel" that we are all familier with. First of all the RI could take the damage that those two Klingon ships were dishing out. The USS Pastuer which amazingly she fought two Klingon ships of almost the same design in the same time frame and took heavy damage in a few minutes.

The Pasteur was attacked by two decloaking Klingon ships. They didn't realize they were under attack until they WERE under attack.
The Pasteur is also a medical ship. If armed, it's probably not armed very heavily.
The Rhode Island was going into combat, with defenses ready, and weapons armed. Given the advanced tech the Federation seems to enjoy, it's not unreasonable to assume that the RI was equipped to kick anyone's ass.

If we're assuming that this is the Equidox type Nova than it would very stupid to send her because even though she might be heavily armed than a Olympic class ship, she is no match for 2 Negh'Vars which could be consdered equals or better than a Galaxy class ship.
One on one a Nova class vs. the Olympic class I don't think that there would be a big weapon power advantage. The USS Pastuer even though she surprised, she did get her shields up and lasted only a very minutes in what appeared that the Klingons were taking their time in destroying her.

Whaddaya mean you can't just "build a ship smaller?" Look at the Oberth. I'm sure there have been many discussions on this topic, but it has been represented in many different sizes. And we have two different deck counts according to two different episodes. Now I don't agree with the concept, but it exists, so you can't just throw the idea out the window.

I believe it is a Nova class, jus a modification of what we saw earlier. It's like the Constitutions, the Mirandas, the Excelsiors, the Nebulas, and so on. Even though it looks different, there isn't that much that was changed. There are exceptions to this rule like the TOS and movie Connies and the Soyuz class, but these are exceptions. Unless made clear that it's another class by TPTB, I'm assuming it's a Nova.
