I swear I remember they cut directly to Obrien and Data with incredulous “did he just say saucer sep” looks on their faces.

    Out of universe, they wanted to show the crazy stuff the ship was capable of…until they started running low on budget

      Maintaining two bridge sets = budget buster.

        What, did they have to rent set space or something? I would’ve figured the major cost would be in the construction, so it would be a sunk cost once they used it the first time.

          If I remember right the battle bridge was a re-dressed bridge set from the TOS run of films, so it was doing double-duty, and needed to be re-dressed each time.
