Also, I realize that an un-driven 3/8" axle would be strong enough, and I don't want this to turn into a 25/35 chain discussion about strength. We have other reasons why we are using a 1/2" axle.

If you'd like I can find you the ebay vendor I bought ours from. They have a store front as well as an ebay shop and the ebay shop was cheaper by about 20%.
Combined with a discount from LIVE.com and you could pick up 40 or 50 bearings for under 50$. (If memory serves- I don't have my cost accounting spreadsheet right now).
-Edit: This is the vendor I used last year.
