Not being critical, but what was going through your head in the planning
stages of this bench that caused you to run the spreaders inside the
legs rather than on the outside?

Absolutely nothing structurally wrong with that concept in the least:

AAMOF, it has some elements that makes it inherently flexible. Here is

The only thing questionable about the implementation of Bill's design so

to the height, at least for the use he originally expressed.

Working with what he already has, and providing the floor of his shop is
flat enough to allow without too much shimming, this would solve that
problem in a few minutes:
