The one from my shiplist. Basically I did the same as Curry and consorts - I kitbashed. This seems to be the most accurate version (hehe...). The saucer is not above the forward shuttle bay, but behind it. Furthermore, the nacelles seem to be connected with the saucer behind the saucer (at least my reference screenshot looked like that). I have no idea how the connection between saucer and secondary hull could look like, but the solution pictured in the DS9TM seems to be... adequate. Sacing the nacelles right would make them appear smaller than they really are. Of course, I could do the same thing as I did with the Niagara, resize them, but I have to finish this somwhere. An I think that's my own little deadline. We never saw the Niagara close enough to say how big the nacelles really are (forget the Jein-shot for the moment), but this one appeared right in the foreground and we got a pretty clear view of it. So... what's your opinion?

Well, the difference with the Niagara is its nacelles were on the right scale with the other parts of the ship...it's just that the Fact Files screwed up when drawing it.
With the Curry, the actual model had nacelles that were at a larger scale. That can't be ignored like a faulty schematic can. The Curry definitely has larger nacelles.
Your schem looks pretty good. I really like TSN's. It's about as accurate a view of the ship as can be gleaned until we see some model pics...(Hint, hint, Mr. Drexler )

Alright, are the pictures of the studio model floating around the Internet and if so where are they so I can see?
