| You can build a more massive gantry, without having to worry about the extra power or stronger linear bearings to move it. Also, you should be able to get away with a smaller shaft to move the table. The drawbacks are that the router will only have around half the cutting length for a given footprint, but the bearing shafts will need to be double the length of the table.
