Unless the heavier ones use a ratcheting compound action they won't be any easier to operate.
The bending operation is so much quicker than the hydraulic one you were looking at you'll have plenty of time to rest. It has stops that can be adjusted to get the exact bend your after.

Ok thanks for the tip on this. At that price its not to much of a gamble.  I'll probably go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these real quick. In the process of setting up a new shop so it will most likely be closer to the beginning of the month before I order one. I'll let ya know how it works out for me. Thanks!
