There are many out there who say tables are only for data and if you use it for formatting you are a talentless hack. While CSS certainly has advantages in flexibility and is fun to work with, it is a huge headache to get it reasonably similar in every browser. I have compared the size of pages made with CSS and the same pages made with tables, and the difference is negligible.
CSS has it place, but so do tables. The purist's point that it is misused is well taken, but the visitor doesn't know the difference or care. I have designed sites using tables only and others that were exclusively CSS, but now I prefer a mixture of the two. You answer your own question. It is easy to style out and is broadly compliant.
