MFT height?

[Toolpig]

I'm 6'4" and am wondering whether the MFT's height can be adjusted?  Thinking about getting one.

In the review athttp://www.thewoodshop.20m.com/festool_mft1.htm the author says:

What I Don't Like About the Festool MFT 1080

Table is Too Low.

I'm 6'2" and the table top height is about 32". I don't mind bending over to kiss the wife, but the MFT is too low for my comfort. I made up four blocks with counter bored recesses that raise the table to a more comfortable height. Festool responded to this gripe indicating that the table height was designed with both short & tall woodworkers in mind. Obviously no size fits all when it comes to workbenches. Height adjustment (as well as wheels) were considered, but the added weight was unacceptable for a tool designed to be portable.

There is a photo of one of the blocks in the review.

Forrest,  Just out of curiosity, did you do the review or contribute to it in some way?

I'm a mere 5' 18" and I have 2 pieces of 6x6 that I put my mft on. I have thought about either drilling 1/2 deep holes for the legs to sit in or buying 4-1 1/2 " pvc caps and screwing them to the 6x6, but so far hanen't needed to do either.

Mark Carlson had a neat solution over at the wish list part of the forum:

Nope. I remembered seeing the blocks when I was compiling my list of Festool websites a month or two ago.
