So, based on my budget, I think I have narrowed my purchase down to two tables and I was hoping you guys could steer me one way or the other. Or recommend any other alternatives in this price range.

The Stiga Spark available at walmart.com, has a 3/4inch top, 2inch square steel legs, 2inch steel support apron, and 3inch wheel casters. With walmart.com, shipping is free if I do site to store, so after tax I'm looking at about $380.

Or, the Stiga STS175 which also has a 3/4inch top, 2inch steel support apron, 3inch wheel casters, but it differs from the table above in that it only has 1.5inch square steel legs.  Although, the undercarriage systems seems to be a little more heavy duty, and I like that the legs are fastened to the undercarriage unlike the independent legs on the walmart.com table. I can purchase this table for $399 from the online vendor below, which includes shipping.

Your thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated!
