Looks nice.  Definitely looks a little more detailed than the one I'm used to in Ascendency.

Looks much nicer than the older one, i particularly love the engines they look fantastic.

You can see the hangers so well, nice model.

I like the visual update, though I'm not really a fan of using the Rebel's design. Since the mods design choice is Legends, not new canon so it just feels weird.

Well it's a case where it's the same ship, so the difference is in how a specific piece of media chooses to represent it as opposed to the old Quasar model being "EU Quasar canon" and this being "new continuity canon." There's plenty of examples in Star Wars where diferent types of media represent what is ostensibly the exact same ship in different ways, and usually it's based on limitations of the medium. For example, a lot of stuff that originated in Rebellion or X-Wing Alliance or whatever tended to look very different when it was shown in media that could better represent it or which gave more to work with.
