Pho-torps = small amount of antimatter packed inside a warhead.
Warp core = a heck of a lot more antimatter packed inside storage tanks that can be blown up.
It's kinda like comparing a stick of dynamite to an ammo dump..... or a nuclear powerplant

Chekhov the trouble maker...
Why did the Romulans start using Klingon ship design? Did they not have the model of the Romulan ship when they filmed that episode?

RL: They had the Klingon ships on-hand, and used them because they didn't have more than one Romulan ship - IIRC. But I wouldn't put much stock in the "more-than-one-model" explanation. Its merely a conjecture.
In-Character: The Romulans traded several of their cloaking devices with the Klingons in exchange for a number of their battlecruisers. Very logical, considering the fact that those two races are at each others' throats in other series
