Since most of the talk focuses around the model 3 or the 105, I figured I'd pick your guys' brains on this bender:http://vansantent.com/model_4_bender.htm

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the purchase, and have decided to go electric/hydro despite the cost just because its so much nicer. I was originally going to go through medford tools but it will be through tricktools as they are a vendor here. My questions are, who has any experience with this bender and how do they like it? And, for the money, is there another comparable bender I should be looking at? Appreciate any and all input, as its not a small bit of change. Mad props to the guys' building their own, but chances are I'd fawk something up if I did that :D

I have that bender............ it's nice, the hydro is very easy for 1 guy to use.
it's easy to do repeat bends.......

--not sure what else you would want to know before buying...

I figured it was a good choice, just curious if anybody had any particular gripes about it, or if I was overlooking another choice in that price range.

I am waffeling on the electro vs. air though. Electro is nice but for $800 less I'm thinking air over will still be a sweet deal over the manual that I'm used to...
