There's a company making tubing benders under the name Affordable Bender, kind of tempted to get one myself with 1" and 1 1/4" dies since that will be the most common sizes I'll be working with, maybe 1 1/2" as well just in case.

Each bender comes with 1 die for $399, but additional dies can be had looks like for $150 or so each. Uses a hydraulic bottle jack or something similar to bend the tubing.

Wondering if anyone on here has ever bought one or messed around d with them before.

Looks like a fancy electrical conduit bender. I have never seen or tried one, but I have a Harbor Freight hydraulic bender. It is terrible. I bought a Vevor manual bender last year. I like it alot. I welded it to a hitch ball adapter so I can mount it to my truck. It takes some force, but it does a good job. I also added a 6 foot piece of 1 1/2 galvanized pipe to the original handle.
