If you had to choose between the 24"x36" and the 27"x43" which one would you get? I make raised panel doors, beaded face frames, and your typical router table stuff. I currently have a small Bench Dog table and it's too small. It's not fun making raised panel doors and I feel I don't have enough space in front of the bit.

I have sufficient shop space to house the larger table, but I wanted to get a quick pulse from my fellow Creekers.

Well mine is 32" x 48" if that gives you an idea of what I suggest!
Using 1" thick phenolic multi-ply plywood from Woodpeckers that I purchased a couple years ago.
Built a large mobile cabinet under it to house most of my router accessories.

I was thinking bigger was better and you certainly confirmed it :D

My shop is tiny so this table gets used for assembly and other tasks too. I have an Incra positioner and lift on it with below table dust collection. Easy to pull the positioner to have a large working table when needed. I like the big table when routing edges on panels or long dados.

One of my tables is in my tablesaw extension. When I need a big table, I remove the guard, rip fence and lower the blade. Viola...27 X 60!

Mine is a stand alone RT and is 53 X 36. I also have the Incra LS Positioner Fence (25") and a Woodpecker PRL.254241 I had to have this length to fully use the fence. Jim.
