The breadboard end idea is sound. But to help attach it I might consider some bolts through the end piece that pierce the center of the tenon with nuts in little housings under the bench. I would consider leaving the dovetail out as this would prevent you from being able to take this apart in the future for repairs/cleanup. Just an option.
The bolts would then mimic the opposite side (housing the wagon vise). Considering that I'm not making the bench knock-down I may even have enough of the Benchcrafted bolts/barrel nuts to re-purpose for the end of the top.
