It's sad, given the amount of work Andrew Probert did on the Enterprise refit, including planning things out like where the internal structures would go, all for them to screw that all up in Star Trek 5 and 6. I know the TMP through Star Trek 4 bridge set was repurposed to be the battle bridge on TNG and they had to build a new bridge set, but it honestly can't be that hard to figure out.

So I've scratched thar version and started another redesign. Which will try and incorporate the layout into a design that keeps as close to a "upgraded/dated" not replaced
Ent-E was to big to see its secondary hull photon bays—but here it is perfect. Not enough has been done with secondary hull details as with saucer details….you have corrected that well.

It was a point of contention if it was going to be a empty mounting point, a sleek torpedo or a third cannon.
I think the Torpedo fixes that and adds balance to the over all look. The shape might change as i slowly work down the model (tying a top down approach otherwise i keep bouncing here and there)

A secondary hull should always have a deep chest to keep the smiling swan motif.
For a more angular secondary hull to match a Diane Carey type octagonal saucer…a might have a stair-stepped look—and right where your lowers torpedo bay is…a smaller dish turret whose base is at a 45 degree angle…such that…if it rotated half a turn…it would point straight down…another turn—and it faces forward.
