We went with folding legs we got from Rockler.com
(http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/findprod.cfm?&DID=6&ObjectGroup_Id=461&filter=legs&sku=1202
) , they bump the price up a little bit per table. But the time and space
saving was worth the cost. Also we've been using spring loaded clamps to
connect the tables together, this also is a big time saver for setup and
tear down. Anything that removes the need for tools is what we are shooting for.
Here is a shot of one of the protypes:

The actual tables will be a bith thinner (1x2 not 1x4) we have also added
slots on the side of the tables to hold the plexiglass in place with out
bolds or clamps.
