I recently purchased the Martelli rotating cutting mat/table. It is wonderful!! The mat rotates on ball bearings which make for a very smooth and easy rotation. I went to the Martelli brand after struggling with the Olfa brand for several years. My Olfa never moved around in a smooth motion; it was a very frustrating experience.
ANyway - - now I am very happy with my new Martelli rotating mat. For me - it was worth the extra expense.
Good luck.
