I thought I had heard the reason they destroyed the Enterprise D in the movie was because the Enterprise D was originally designed for a 4:3 image for the TVs of the day, and they wanted to introduce a new Enterprise that was better for a widescreen image.  I guess I can understand that (and the Enterprise E was indeed a longer ship), but I thought the Enterprise D still looked great in widescreen.  I thought its sets looked fine in the movie too - and they actually changed the sets a bit for the movie.  If I recall correctly, the bridge had a pronounced section that raised up a bit toward the middle, whereas in the TV show, it wasn't so pronounced.
