With an apron it sounds like a traditional English bench, good choice IMO. Aprons are normally screwed on, they can get covered in glue and other stuff or too many dog holes which necessitates either replacement or a clean up. Simply unscrewing makes life less of a chore.
Two M&T frames either side with stretchers that are tennoned with knock out wedges and a top that's either bolted or screwed on makes a sturdy easy to move bench. My work top is bolted down, it makes taking it off to run through a P/T easy every once in a while. When it gets a bit thin, I make a new one.
I may be out in a limb here, but a bench is a tool, you use it to make work you can proud of. The mire fancy / work you put into it the less likely I have personally found I use it properly......concerned with denting the top.....concerned with a saw mark, drill going too far........you at some point take stock and recognise one of two things depending on why you do wood work.
1. The bench does not get Oaul for by the client. They don't care how fancy it is or indeed how rough it looks. They want good quality work at an affordable price.
2. Your family and friends who benefit from your hobby value and love what you produce, few if any venture into the workshop, and fewer still who do know really what they are looking at. The door, window, box, chair or what ever is what gives them joy.
If the bench is flat, provides good clamping possibilities, stable, and at the right height in my book you've created a work of art. Love it enjoy it and produce something that others care about.
So:
