IMHO the generic shakedown bridge is the one that the Sutherland had in "Redemption". The bridge is no more spartan than the Enterprise(-A) bridge(s). Same thing, actually. Catapin's chair in the center, two forward stations for navigation and ops, and all the other stations on the bridge circumference. I think it's a nice return to the classic bridge design

I think the Ent-D or Voyager bridge is the best configuration. I don't think a captain should sit alone and without a "chairtop"-computer to give vital info.
-Ensign! Take us out of here! -Where, sir? -Um, 90 degrees to port. -Sir, there's a star there. -Damn! Well, think of something yourself, man! You've got all the fancy telemetry!!! Lieutenant, what time is it? -Siir?? -Well how the hell should I know, I'm sitting here with two cupholders!! And wristwatches went out of style 200 years ago. Oh, how I miss my senior officers...they used to be here somewhere, on my left, on my right, well you get the idea. -Yes, sir...
Scratch Voyager too. All those irritating railings in the centre of the bridge stop the aesthetic flow for me. Next thing you know they'll put handicap-ramps in there somewhere too.
Yeah, take a millenniumized EntD-bridge and slam that into the prometheus production-line.
