When I was looking at the machines, the overlay ensured you had a smooth table top. Otherwise, you had humps/hollows/cracks where the machine set into the table. I would definitely buy the overlay, if purchasing the machine.
I didn't do enough quilting or with big enough pieces to check if it would slip-slide-away!
