NOT flimsy John
I'd only had first Desktop for about 4 months before we got a FeinII HEPA for dedicated DC(with a DustDeputy...it's perfect for a Desktop combo),
and was in Rockler shopping for for hose/blastgates/etc.
They had a cutting Shark setup, and customer was saying;
"Oh...I'm Not cutting too fast...when I cut and see the router mount distort....I slow down!"
STILL makes me cringe to think we were considering one!!
(Now Those are flimsy! But people still manage to show decent stuff on the Vectric Forum)

Never for a minute did we regret going 2 Desktops!
The positional accuracy and cut repeatability has repeatedly shown me that my wood movement(and MDF spoilboard) move...Not my machine in multi-day 3Ds.

Lots of people downsize once they're not cutting sheet goods and big slabs...No body seems to get stronger and healthier with more energy as they age..You Adapt.
