I am looking to pull the trigger on a MFT/3 and CMS router table. Any thoughts? I would assume when connected the table tops are flush with one another?

I was offered a huge cabinet contract today from a builder I've worked for for about a year. I've been doing his trim carpentry and painting on his new homes (he builds about 150 homes a year). I am one of two trim carpentry contractors and one of 4 painting contractors. Until the new shop is set up I am going to use the mft/3 and cms router table. I have roughly 2 weeks to build each set. All knotty alder with flat panel doors. Simple.

Good for you, man! It's nice to hear some good news once in a while...

Yes.  I assume you are referring to the CMS-VL.  Here's a thread you might find of interest: MFT/3 plus CMS-VL upgrade

If you're speaking of the CMS-VL, yes, the tops do align.  The top of the CMS-GE also aligns, but does not connect.  The downside to the CMS-VL is that you can't use the extension tables for infeed/outfeed the way you can with the CMS-GE which is entirely self-supporting with its own four feet.  The CMS-VL requires the connection to the MFT/3 to stay vertical and not fall down.  In my shop, I use the CMS-GE with two extension tables for versatility.
