Default Shopping for sewing table--machine on top or inset?

I'm looking at sewing tables with more room behind and to the left of the machine; I'm tired of the old student desk I use with almost no room on those sides. Since I've used this desk for over 15 years, I'm really used to having my machine sit on the desktop.

Do you like/prefer to have your machine set into your table? Seems great for quilting, but what if you wish to use the free arm for hemming up jeans or whatever? Do inset tables have covers for the opening so you can use the free arm if you need it? Ideas and opinions, please!

Best wishes,
