Doesn't that cost a damned fortune?
My main reason against nice wood (as opposed to plywood and masonite) is based on the fact that workbenches often take some abuse, and end up scratched and nicked and spilled on. I'd feel bad damaging a nice oak table, plus i'd be damaging something expensive instead of something cheap. I flip or replace the masonite every few years.
Which reminds me - you need a vice, no question. Maybe you already have one elsewhere?
Don't skimp on power outlets - you want some below desk level. I mount (sometimes with zipties) power strips and outlets near the front of my tables and desks (almost every table in my room has an outlet mounted on it somehow). On my main desk, I have a couple of these to give pairs ouf outlets: http://www.amazon.com/5-15R-Power-Adapter-Splitter-Socket/dp/B00S0O4ADG/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1430287277&sr=8-16&keywords=outlet+splitter+IEC (these are also lovely items to have on hand)
