180m to 200m is a great size for the Ent era. It's big enough to be believable as an explorer vessel, but not so big that it's almost TOS size, like the NX class was.

Yes, that´s also my thought.
The version for the Primary-Universe was planned (in my FF STAR TREK - AFTERMATH) in 2162, shortly after the War with the Romulans, primary as a Medium-Cruiser, by a Vice Admiral (John Jefferson Pickett). The Explorer-Version has 6 phaser-cannons and 2 torpedo tubes. Admiral Pickett wanted also a version with more weapons for a real Medium-Cruiser-Version, but Starfleet-Command declined.
Between 2164 and 2170 Starfleet commissioned 8 of this ships as Medium-Range-Explorer-Vessels. Non was lost, since Starfleet decommissioned all this ships until 2210.
