Seigmund makes a nice table. Not the best, but not the worst. I personally would get a small Weldsale cast iron platen before I went with the Seigmund, but they are an order of magnitude more money and weight. But, they're REALLY nice for doing any kind of frame welding or 3D weldments. Just welding widgets on the table or in a self contained fixture you really don't need or want the tables fixturing. If you need to make a dozen sets of table legs or something, it is very nice to be able to set up clamps and stops.
Welding and fixture tables are pretty personal tools, it all depends on the work you're doing, the people using it, and if the table is strictly dedicated for welding or if it has to play multiple roles. I wouldn't want a fixture table as an assembly bench, but if space is a huge premium, it may need to play multiple roles.
We have two main welding tables in my shop, a 48" x 120" home built and a 96" x 60" Acorn platen table. We have smaller mobile tables, but those two are where the bulk of our work gets done at.
The Acorn is by far the most useful for fabrication work, the fixturing and holes make it a snap to set up stops, clamps, jigs and fences. The downside is the holes make it darn near impossible to work on small parts. On the table I built I drilled some 5/8" holes 12" on center to use some Strong Hand drop in clamps. It works fine. If I could only keep one, it would be the Acorn, by a mile. I've considered making a cover plate for it when doing runs of small parts.
I would also say the fancy steel and the coatings are pretty much marketing wank. You don't want or need any of that, it doesn't help in any meaningful way, but it looks nice and sounds nice. A36 blanchard ground makes about the best welding surface I can think of for general work. Cast iron is nice too. Stainless is not very good, it has issues with spatter sticking and you need a second mortgage right now to get one anyway. If I'm doing sanitary welding or something, I can put down a sheet or SS or aluminum. I really like aluminum for a welding table, but really only suitable for TIG work on small stuff. It damages too easily for structural shapes.
