Cabinets and preferances are very individual. I would say, if you aren't particularly tall most of them should be fine. I have a 201K in a treadle table. It's converted to electric, and the treadle irons aren't there anymore. I have tried two types of foldaway tables and a cabinet more like a cupboard, I would say the ergometics are as near optimal as can be. Hands go on boths side of the needle with out any cumbersome bends or angles. Advantage with new horn cabinets is mostly storage space, optinal build on modules etc, at least some models. Some of the older cabinets had quite good storage space though. Unless it turns into a 8 hours a day, 5 days a week chore, the old cabinets are quite good. Some are smaller, some are a bit larger. I think some of the later teak or mahogany tables are taller legs.
My table is very simple, similar to this one.
