thinking of buying tube bender

The model 32 is built stronger than the 3 & 4. I know a guy that has a 4 and he borrowed my die from the 32, and everything about the 32 was bigger so he couldn't use it. You can spend the extra $400+ and get the hydraulics for the 32. The new one that's replacing the model 4 is going to be top notch. The biggest I've bent with mine is 2 1/8 x .188 DOM. It's a workout bending that manually.

Have you seen a 32 and a 4 side by side? The 4 is much beefier. Dies from the 32 won't work in a 4 anyway, unless you buy and extra shoe for them. And model 4 dies won't work at all in a model 32, as they don't have the extra leg coming off of them.
