The two engined ship is a superdreadnought SDN and the four engined 
one is an extended range superdreadnought (SDN-X).

Having seen these ships in the flesh (so to speak) on Saturday and 
having bought the SDN-X, I can say that they look every bit as 
wonderful as the photos suggest.

I'd say that the SDNs aren't as big as some people have thought 
(judging by the suggested stats posted earlier). Visually comparing 
them with the Jeanne D'Arc in the next display case, I'd say that the 
SDN-X wouldn't be a lot more massive and the SDN may be slightly 
smaller. And presumably the extra mass on the SDN-X would fuel, 
supplies, etc. rather than weaponry.

opening...)
