[C320-list] AFI cockpit table

[Scott Thompson]

My recollection is that the Edson table is also considerably smaller 
than the AFI table when both are fully extended.  I find the larger 
surface area to be quite important when all three teenagers are on 
board.  Plus the AFI is mounted underneath 4 teak cup holders (two of 
which double as binocular holder.  I use these all the time when the 
table is down.  Plus it's about half the price and looks great.
