That… is kind of ugly. It’s unimaginative - feels too much like an airplane or a cheap-as-heck shuttle model. It brings up the worst of late-90s/early 2000s blobject design.
It would definitely feel more at home as background ship, but this is not the design of a hero ship. It doesn’t even have to be the traditional Roddenberry-type design; something looking more like the Dove from Lower Decks would be better than this.

I think it’s a decent evolution of the ENT aesthetic - the warp delta in particular - at a smaller scale.
Not exactly awe-inspiring, but as a glorified commercial transport…

Actually looking at it, my impression has softened a bit. I think I just was struggling with the perspective.
I like the proportions of the earlier concept better - I like big nacelles.
