the UBA-100 has nice specs capacity wise.
the BGB-40 has better forming options, but less capacity...AAACK!!! if only there's a larger version...
the mini bender on aliexpress is hailed as a wire bender...

So, are you looking for something that can handle larger, heavier stock?  I watched a video of someone bending stuff with a cheap UBA-100 - surprisingly good, actually. 

I am looking for something to make small, precise bends.  Some of the cheaper Mini-Benders have problems with tolerances, and one needed a custom washer made to perform correctly.  I do like the scroll former on the KAKA bender.  I may try to find some videos on that one specifically. So far, still leaning toward the Mini-Bender.
