One concern I have of this style of design is the lack of easy access to the inside. I tinker with my machine a lot and being able to pull off a panel quickly is very handy. Sometimes things are just out of reach or facing the wrong way. A lot of small work piece cutouts like hole centers often drop out and under the table. It seems like one a month I need to get under the table and clean up. I go months with the electronics side open.
Think about everything that could go wrong. Can you get the tube in and out. Can you tension the Z axis with the table in?
I see there is a hatch on the side. That will help.
