Yeah- I plan on squaring it a bit though so it's not an exact match, but I like that bridge design (from the outside at least).
I may extend the A-Deck aft in a sort of Excelsior homage. There is currently a lot of unused space on the top of the blocky (Prommie-esque) B-C superstructure just now.

I've cheated and scanned the Enterprise so you can actually see the details now. The joy of modeling in 2500th scale is that most ships for on a flatbed scanner.
Also, for Aban, I've scanned several small starfleet classes in my fleet, including the requested USS Pluto (damn that silly Luna class naming convention anyhow).

Hey! I once had an idea for a special ops, S31 sort of ship that was just a Galaxy class secondary hull, no saucer, and no ability to connect to a saucer...

The lil' stubby second cousin to the Defiant is a model someone sent me for critique. All the details on it were made by me via styrene and decals- the original is pretty sparce.
A while back (for SSM's Red Planet Contest), I built that large Utopia Planetia R&D station and it's home to all Starfleet's "one off" prototypes that never quite made it into production.
That ship (as well as the tiny "greyhound" courier in the bottom left and a few others I'm finishing off right now- including a re-build of an old scratchbuilt Defiant prototype that everyone here hated....) comprise an active testing fleet for new technologies and (occasionally) act as defense force for the U.P. shipyards.

Topher, I have this great backstory on the USS Griffin (the Galaxy with no saucer) where the captain parked the ship in a bad part of the spiral arm and when they beamed back up, someone had jacked the suacer....
Really, I had plnned on using some nifty battle damage decals and some applied weathering to make the ship a bit beat up but after I had built and decaled it, I couldn't bring myself to bang it up (besides, it would be the only damaged ship in my fleet!), so mabye the captain ordered his XO, in the suacer to collect all those lifeboats we see when the allies get their asses handed to them by the Dominion.
