Kitchen Table or not?

While we're currently doing a mini makeover in the kitchen, I've been tossing around the idea of making it 'eat-in'.  We rarely use the dining room  to eat.  I use it all of the time when I'm working on projects and in fact, I can't even see the dining room table right now.  It's certainly big enough for my favorite choices of kitchen tables

So, I set about looking for some eat-in kitchen inspiration.  Here is what I came up with:

What do you think?  Do you have an eat-in kitchen?  Would you? And after looking at these...I'm thinking my big kitchen all of a sudden looks much smaller!  Maybe an island is a better choice. But I still would love an eat-in area in the kitchen or at least a spot to sit and talk to the cook, Mr. DIY, while he's whipping up a delicious meal.
