Hi blairrm. I looked at several commercially avaiable table tops before deciding to make my own with a smooth laminate top. I think the point about keeping the table clean of marks is a very good point. The lack of texture makes cleanup very simple. I periodically apply a thin coat of Butchers wax to my table top to protect it and it's smooth as silk. My top is constructed of 2 layers of 3/4 MDF and the laminate top. I installed a Rockler plate to support my PC7539 (heavy) and there is absolutely no sag in the table top or plate. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do.
