I do like the "Bridge Approach" (dual rails straddling the z axis) on your Y axis (its a favorite of mine too). If I could suggest:
consider rotating the z axis 90 degrees (about the z- vertical) - you might have an easier time changing bits in it.
That assumes you'll have access to the table along the X axis - which is most common. Any way you look at it - you'll be giving up working footprint - but make changing bits a bit easier.

Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.

Sorry for a very late response - but yes! Nice dagream too. You can see readily how your layout will prevent torsion (bending) as a result of the router/spindle weight being asymetricly mounted on the Y axis. You do have to make sure the Y axis members are rigid enough to prevent bending in the Z axis though.
Good Luck., and
