   Shane,

   I vote for plan "B", or, even better, layer three pieces of 1/4 inch plywood with the seams offset by 120 degrees. 

   The three layer construction would be smoother and less likely to show weakness across the seams.  Four or five layers would be even better, but a three layer system will give you a reasonably sturdy top without having to do that much more work than a two layer top.

   Even sturdier,would be to build the three layers up from 48" wide sections mated to 16" wide sections to get the width, again with a 120 degree offset between the layers.  An added advantage to this construction is that you'll use two less sheets of plywood compared to running all of the seams through the center point of the table.

   John W.

   Thanks John, The three layers does sound even better, I think I will do that instead. Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Shane
