Seems to me that the TNG "Galaxy" class Enterprise doesn't look any bigger than the TOS Enterprise, especially because of the glowing rectangles all over it (windows?), which give me the impression of it being about the same size, even though I know (from the Web) it's supposed to be bigger.

At any rate, I quite disagree that "All that Next Generation did was to make the ships bigger". It also changed the style of the ship designs quite a bit. I personally don't like the new aesthetics used after the TOS films. They look computer-generated and lack the flavor of the earlier hull designs, at least to me. I guess some others like them though, so I suppose it's a matter of personal taste.
