Casters for bench

I scored a nice SJOBERG Elite Duo 1500 Workbench earlier today for a good price ($240, plu $40 for a custom hard maple mini bench)
Now I am figuring it would be good to have some type of caster setup for moving it around. Would prefer for it to be on the floor except when moving, and I'm figuring on building my own chest of drawers under it rather than paying the $600 for the official one.
Ideas?

I'm headed in the same direction with my new workbench. My current thougthts are to adapt a set of SS retractable casters. It looks like a set would fit on the feet of that workbench.

I use this bracket to mount Mark V casters on work and 10ER tables.

What do you think the weight capacity is for the casters? I know the bench itself is 89lbs, and I am planning on building a my own set of drawers out of baltic birch for under the bench.
I have both a set of 10ER and plenty of Mark V casters handy, so either could work. My initial thought would be to use the 10ER casters since they have an appropriate mounting bracket.
