Default suggested weight for a lathe that has a 30" diam capacity

the lathe itself weighs 200lb and the bench im building weighs about
another 100lb. is that enough to make it not dance with me while
turning big off center/not balanced pieces? or should i fill the two
pockets i made with sand to add another 50lb total?
