Mines a little more money, but nice that its vertical and a space saver.
Pro tools are less money, but there are home made ways to set them up hydraulic, which saves some money in the end.

The pro-tools one is the best choice to start out with. Get the HD one. has thicker arms for less deflection

Whatever route you go with a bender, be sure to get this:

Ultracool, and very, very, handy. You'll thank yourself for buying this when you weld up all the joints. Or the welder will thank you.
Plus your wallet will thank you for not making so many trophy's! Tube can get expensive, especially when 6 lengths of ERW and 10 lengths of DOM are purchased!
Have fun!

Pro tools is great because so many of us have dies for them. So any size you want to bend, someone has a die you can get to do it with.
yep I still do the hydro conversions. I can also bring the bender up for you if you like.

What kind of price can you get for a bender? I am looking to get one, and it may be easier to get one through you than on my own.
