I've been checking out Tubetek.net benders lately. Thier site says $355 shipped with your choice of die up to 1.5". Others are available for a little more.

you could save a bunch of money and just get your own 20 ton bottle jack instead of using their overpriced POS.

i like it because it compact, its easy to get the right degree each time, and you don't have to put holes in the concrete at the place you are renting.
