I have built just about everything in the ST catalog from AMT. Do not expect Acamiyagawa quality/ fit from these kits. While they can be built up to look quite nice, you'll be using your modeling skills and sheet plastic to make them look better than OOB.
I had a ton of fun painting Aztec patterns by hand, then they came out with templates!!!! LOL.
Are you looking to build the original boxing 1701 model or the refit enteriprise, as well as the D?
Make sure you add some ballast where the stand is. My Reliant always wants to flip onto its nose, my Voyager just wont sit right, and well the Kazon, that thing is so nose heavy it makes Jamie Farr look like a anime chick :)
HTH
