    Several jeweler friends and I spent many an hour designing what we
    thought was the perfect bench. (for us)  Fortunately for two of them
    their father in laws did woodworking so they have exquisite benches. 
    My suggestion (since you are willing to spend the money) is to look
    around for a very good cabinet or furniture maker in your area and
    have them make exactly what you want.  Just a few of the changes we
    made were to increase the height of the bench so we were not hunched
    over all the time, and two shallow drawers under the bench pin.  I
    have the left one with a solder pad and all my solders, I pull it out
    to solder and it stays closed the rest of the time. The right drawer
    is for small tools and misc gold stock.  It also has a tool drawer
    and a sweeps drawer.  The small drawers also work as great arm rest.
    We have them straight across the front, I never really liked using a
    bench that was cut out for the bench pin.  Best of luck in your
    search.
