Pro-Tools 105 HD seems to be popular....I would def opt for the HD version.

Most come out of the states and you pay a small fortune for shipping.

I have a brand new 105 HD sitting beside me, 1.75" die too...If your in a rush I could theoretically sell you mine,

$1253 with die set to my door (might be another 1 or 2 misc brackets there too, say $40 worth).

I paid 900 bucks for a simillar one at KMS tools and it came with three dies. They also swapped out smaller dies not needed for a 1 3/4  and 2" combo. done lots of work with no problems. I also do not have any  issue using it manually with out hydraulic option.

I bought this one (less dollars now with exchange)  http://www.kmstools.com/magnum-manually-operated-precision-tubing-bender-12756?zenid=hifaaeo7bdjru379sh9uqc30m0
and swapped out the two smaller dies for  a 1 3/4    the guys's in Red Deer are a good prople to deal with. I see that they have more options than two years ago at reasonable prices.
