I wouldn't take that route as the difference in steel price won't be massive. It will make welding more difficult because of your mixing different thicknesses and tube sizes.
At this width, the bed will be much less resonant with the thicker, wider tube size giving a better finish on parts. Esp when cutting harder materials that will resonate into the bed and frame.
Keep in mind it's the foundation of the whole machine. It really isn't worth spoiling the broth for apeth of salt.
