I know that you've had some complaints regarding the placement of the main deflector, but I think it looks good, ESPECIALLY for a kit bash. It makes the design have a smaller, more compact profile, which matches with her stated mission profile.
It also kind of looks like a predecessor to the arrangement used for the Intrepid class, and it blends in rather nicely.
Keep the deflector 'bulbous bow' where it is. But fill in that 'thin' part of the hull behind it via stretching the deflector section further towards the aft and have it as an underslung main shuttle bay.
My version was to go a bit closer to how the Challenger class from the BOBW fleet did it. Merge the hull into the saucer near the main shuttlebay, and just no deflector at all, not every ship needs one.
