I have cut large pieces on the Ex21 and have not found the small table overhang a problem. No matter what amount of overhang there is, the piece you are cutting will determine how far away from the blade you are. I can understand wanting a larger table, all around, if you are cutting large piece out of 3mm ply that is very delicate (like Charlie Deering does). I think in that case you'd want a larger table then any of the off the shelf saws.
