Specifically, the Harbinger and the Hurricane.
CCP, I see that the Hurricane has had two of its turrets moved. The turrets on the top of the ship, near the back, used to be lined up neatly on the wing spars, as you can see HERE (though there are no turrets fitted in the shot, you can see the hardpoints.)
In Trinity, the turret closest near the back has been moved closer to the rear of the ship, and the three turrets have been spread more evenly on the wing spar, as you can see HERE.
This is not a problem - the ship still looks great.
However!
Why would you change the turret layout on the Hurricane but leave my poor Harbinger untouched, with its one lonely turret just sitting there on the bottom right of the ship's bow? The ship still even has 8 turret hardpoints on the model but only 7 can be fitted?
Just move it to, say, the middle of the underside of the 'head' there, instead of leaving it off on the side :(
Thanks =)

I'm pretty certain that the 8th turret hardpoint on the Harbinger is a result of somebody using a Symmetry modifier while modeling (or the equivalent if CCP use some other program than 3D Studio Max).
Bear in mind that given how intricate all of these models are nowadays, and especially considering that they have multiple texture layers, just altering the ship model is now quite a big job.
However, you're quite right, it would have been nice if they'd re-modeled the gun to a different position straight off the bat.

I'm mostly trying to figure out why they would change the Hurricane layout (which I still don't object to) but leave the Harbinger alone.

I think it may have to do with the popularity of the ship. Lots of people love and fly the Hurricane, but you'll only see a few Harbingers around. It would make sense they worry more about making the popular ships better, at least in my mind.

Dont you know? They have given up doing anything with Amarr. 
/CCP fix for Amarr is in EVE Trinity - The Trinity of training either Caldari, Gallente or Minmatar! |

I've looked at all the new Amarr Trinity ships, they've all been overhauled and look great except from these 2 ships from what I can see;
The Abaddon and the Harbinger, this must be because these are tier 3 ships that were introduced later and not considered needing doing.
I'm not decided on the Abaddon, but the Harbinger looks exactly the same except kinda fuzzy and washed out. >.>

I'd love to see that final turret hard point on my Harbinger fixed. All they would need to do, is move that off center bow turret up to the empty turret hard point right behind the dorsal turret. Alternatively, they could move the dorsal turret to the empty bow hard point directly adjacent to the currently off center, lonely turret up front. Either way, symmetry is restored and the ship looks far less goofy.
