If your dead set on 2" tubing you can easily eliminate all the front vertical tubes and just have one in the center. I use 1.5" tube for all my stands, never any issues. Realistically if you skin the top of the stand with 1" plywood and screw it down solid you don't need all the bracing. To simplify the stand put 2 cross supports in the top, back & bottom, one in the center front. More then enough support & cost much less.
