From what I can see from looking at the pictures, it looks like the basic stand uses the same machine base as the deluxe. I have the deluxe. The machine base is a welded box construction, with tap pads welded on to the top surface, then machined flat. It has adjustable feet on the bottom, and is very sturdy. The picture shows the same cabinet construction from what I can see, so there is a handy enclosure on one side for the computer, and another in the front for tools or whatever. If they are the same, then there would also be another door on the other side where the coolant tank resides in the deluxe model.
As far as 'will it work' .... well, it is the ideal base for the machine. It's plenty heavy and sturdy. The difference is in how you want to catch the chips and/or coolant that will be flying around. Even with the deluxe, I'm doing a few mods for containment. If you have limited space, I'm sure you can guide the chips into the smaller pans with whatever you have available.
Hope that helps,
