Here is a ranking by ELO for table tops:

Here is a link to ICD to look at table tops:

I have an old Fidelity Mach III master.  I still enjoy playing it.  I think you
will like a table top.  My only comment is that the opening play on mine can
become stale, but I would not tade it for anything.  I also enjoy my PC and the
many SW chess programs I play there.
