It's cool to see them side by side and compare. The Abramsprise really does look like they said "What would the movie version of the old Enterprise look like if Apple made it?
I don't mind it as much as some; we'd be disappointed, I think, if it was perfectly identical to any existing design. But at any side view of it, I wince at the oversize warp nacelles; I can't help feeling like they're going to break loose and leave the rest of the ship behind.

I dunno,... the large nacelles are my favorite part of it. They look strong and powerful (since apparently the ship is faster). Its the pylons that make me cringe, particularly how they curve inwards, and bring those "ample nacelles" far too close together, especially compared to the sombrero saucer. The hull feels like it juts out too far forward, however that is bias on my part because my first Enterprise was as she appeared in the original movies (Voyage Home was my intro to Star Trek). Perhaps if the hull stayed thick further back, instead of thinning out so far forward.
When they changed it up in the opening moments of Star Trek Beyond,... it felt really weird. Probably not because the nacelles were 2/3 the size, but because those pylons were now swept back, even thinner, and still curved inward. Though, I read somewhere that the Enterprise was supposed to look flimsy and weak, just so the -A would look stronger at the end.... but I could be wrong about that.
Fix the pylons and the hull, and the massive nacelles would work just fine, i think. Although, if the pylons were attached to the nacelles further back, instead of so close to the tip, that may do wonders for both designs.
