When I mentioned the problem of flatness, I was thinking of the table as

MDF will sag over time, but you can avoid that if you're willing to
remove the router when not using the table. Or build a torsion box and
use that for the table.

Mine has had a 3 HP Porter-Cable hanging under it for going on 10 years
now and hasn't sagged. If your inch and a half thick MDF is sagging you
got ripped off.
