CSS example 548 characters
Table example 470 characters
Now duplicate that across an entire website
Plus you forgot to add formatting for the various IE bugs in your CSS example
Also keep in mind if if you used a seperate .css thats loading 2 files instead of 1
These are all penalties for search engines but using a table is never a penalty
