You should be aware that when you're talking about "layers" you're not really referring to an actual CSS thingy. That's Dreamweaver's way of explaining CSS in a visual environment. There's no such thing as a "layer" really - just divs and other markup that's positioned via CSS.
There are definitely advantages to doing stuff in CSS - things like easily swapping in a print stylesheet to drop your navigation elements when printing, ease of maintenance, etc. There are definitely reasons to learn this stuff. And, it fits nicely with CF - after all - you're still just rendering html. That being said - tables are for tabular data. Use them.
