Agreed, round or octagon tables are better suited for home games where the deal is passed amongst the players at the table. The downside is that round/octagon tables are more expensive and difficult to build. First, materials are more expensive if you are doing a table that is more than 48" across as plywood is harder to find in that size. Depending on the size, some other materials such as vinyl, foam and playing surface are more difficult to find. Second, the effort required and tools needed are greater than a casino style table.
Ultimately, it all depends on what you want and the amount of time and effort you are willing to put into it.
