Not a bad idea. I dont think they are quite finished with the ship yet though. As of Friday's roadmap update, they are only 43 out of 76 tasks complete so far.
Phoenix shows what true luxury is. Sorry 600

Neither does the Terrapin, Reclaimer, Herald, Hornet Tracker... it will get a purpose ingame. This one is clearly designed for transporting VIP's and RP.

Absolutely I agree 100%, I was actually referring to the overall aesthetics of the ship however. It seems like the "luxury" feel is really centralized to one portion of the ship whereas the 600 has that luxury feel from top to bottom.
Hmmmm, i see you point. I think we will see more completion of luxuries around the entirety of the ship as they finish its progress coming up for release at citcon.
At first, I thought that the Phoenix now beats the 600i Lagonda, but after looking at it a bit more, no. You guys with the 600i Lagonda definitely got the better ship, at least on the non-nausea producing interior of the ship. The Phoenix is very nice, but small and cramped compared with the walkthroughs I've watched of the 600i Lagonda. Just don't look at the 600i Lagonda's exterior. Also, I've only seen walkthroughs of the Explorer, the Touring module may make everyone CCU their Phoenix to Origin's champagne dreams and caviar wishes.
As our glorious leader upgraded his Phoenix to the 600i Lagonda, that sets the baseline for proper commenting.

They did say the bridge and crew area is basically just getting a recolor. Like, seriously, they said that.
oh well... the bridge was always pretty cool already on the connies
I really like it, but you're right. The Phoenix is more of a "commercial" luxury design. It's like the fancy office areas that recruiting agencies or tech start-ups have to entice people. It's a perfect Org ship for throwing parties without having to worry about a bunch of drunk TESTies messing up your nice 600i interior. Its great for transporting executive members from other Organizations around without spending too much money.
Its more of a refined commercial design. Origin ships, on the other hand, are pure luxury with every square inch of their ships hand-crafted to perfection. Origin is on a whole other level.

And that's not what I wanted out of the ship. I wanted something that could be a small home/VIP transport when doing diplomacy with an option for cargo. Instead it's dedicated transport with cut down features, a lack of polish on the bridge, and just no what I want when I already have a 600I and 890 Jump that can do the roles I wanted it for significantly better. My 600I will now be my small transport and my 890 my VIP one.

This is why i wanted both ships, both have their place. And while I really love the outside look of the ship and the lines, the 600i when it comes to the inside it just feels a bit to monolithic lacking visual interest, textures and colors. It really needs another pass.
