sliding glass cabinet doors

I have a commission to build a wall display cabinet and would like some
advice on the tracks.

Cabinet is 36" high, 46" wide and 6" deep. Will have 2 - 1/4" glass
bypass doors. Doors will be opened bi monthly or monthly.

Rockler sells this http://tinyurl.com/78cps which I could paint outside
and wax inside to ease sliding. Grainger sells track with bearings, but
it's $50, out of line for this project. Custom cut glass is gonna be
expensive enough as it is. I also thought I could get some UHMW plastic
and route a couple of grooves in it.

What do you all think? What's the best functionality for the lowest
price?

Thanks.
