In working on the redesign of my shop, I'm planning some sort of
outfeed table. The table bit is obvious enough. I'm trying to think
what else to do with the space.

Postulate #1: Any horizontal space accumulates crap.

So live with that notion, and plan around it.

The outfeed table of my saw folds down. When up, it extends out the garage
door. This means that any stuff which accumulates there must be moved
before close of working hours. Rather forces me, against my nature, to
clean stuff up at the end of the day.

My (primary) router table is homebuilt. Slab of Borg-purchased melamine,
reinforced with 2x materials, on a homebuilt frame. Sort of like Unisaw's
'before' picture. Works for me. The fence is overkill, although it was
purchased at a woodworking show for $80. A jointed piece of straight
hardwood works just fine. In fact. that's what my 'traveling' router table
is: 3/4" cabinet ply, with a PC690 fixed base screwed to the underside,
several pieces of hardwood for fence options, and a bag of C-clamps. Chip
collection is done with a broom. For this, the PC690 is just perfect. The
3.x hp screamer lives fulltime in the other table. Which is used as an aux
assembly table for most of it's time, anyway. (See postulate #1.)

The $99 PC is a great primary router for your described use.
