Its a good list, the only thing I would change is that I like a deeper workbench (30" is good 32" deep is even better) because I'll put a shelf in the back so that the test equipment can be vertical from the surface (and yet the probes can still reach the surface easily). For RF work, I've got a spectrum analyzer, vector signal generator, and an oscilloscope that are pretty much always there, and a network analyzer that I bring out when I'm trying to get debug RF networks.

And while modern (expensive) equipment is light and not so deep, if you're buying stuff used or surplus you'll end up with older gear that can be 18 or 19" deep and on a 24" deep bench that gets a bit crowded.

I finally shelled out for the Proline 32 inch deep benches and man do I love them. The overhead shelf and light are great, as is the French cleared rail.

This will be one of the signs that I've won the lottery, all my benches will be from Proline :-). The radio lab at work had them and I was quite impressed both with the fit and finish and the flexibility.
