I have seen almost all the Star Trek content, and never developed a love of the ship structure. I like the Defiant because it doesn't look like it will snap in pieces when it turns a corner. It also proves you don't need to put the propulsion on sticks.
I agree with your point, but a lot of the more expensive washing machines are not that reliable, and expensive to fix. I had to spend $200 on a refurbished circuit board. They had a whole business dedicated to repairing those boards. Usually cheap ones have simple parts that (used to be) cheap.
