Exhaust benders

[TractorLegend]

Anyone have professional experience running an exhaust bender?
Considering one to add to our shops repertoire, we have a decent tech who worked at a muffler shop.
Looking for experiences/ advice on brands:
Ben Pearson vs. Bend Pak vs. Huth
I hear Ben is highly touted but are way expensive.
I can get terms on the other two.
Sort of not tractor related- but I just know someone out there has two cents to add...

And....to add to this topic,

How much can a guy expand regular exhaust pipe? For example...1" pipe expanded to 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" at the end and on and on....? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
