Um... Could someone point me in the direction of these "good pictures" of the other FC ships? I don't believe I've seen them...

What pictures of the ships of First Contact? Is everyone referring to the ones in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Sketchbook? If so, Pedro has the Norway, Steamrunner, and Saber Class pictures in his site.

Although I am perfectly convinced that the Akira was intended to be about 450 meters long and that the escape pods were intended to be of the same type, there is that errorneous 262m size the DS9 VFX group are using which could pull the number down a bit in the future.

I'm not so sure about the design size. Like Davok said, a ~450m Akira would have a huge bridge module. And Jaegar did intend this to be a warship...would he have designed it with such high decks?

Well, it depends on what we call 'bridge' in that big blob on the top. I see it as bridge plus a number of decks atop the main saucer, as is the case with the Ent-E if you've seen the sketchbook.
And there is no evidence to suggest that warships have to have lower deck heights. For all we know, the deck heights may actually be higher because of all the additional power transfer conduits in-between decks needed to support the increased plasma/whatever flow required for high levels of armament. Normal ships don't have it run through crew sections for safety, but warships take these chances. Witness the Defiant with four 12' decks at 110 meters.
