(that one is kind of small, but it fits in your budget and I'm not sure exactly what size you are looking for). For under $500, you're probably not going to be able to get a decent width (24") and you probably won't be able to bend up to .125" (I assume you're looking to bend aluminum, but I'm not sure).
I own that very brake (with a different brand sticker on it) - you wont be able to bend 1/8" with that brake, 0.080" is the absolute max you can bend on it really, I'd recommend sticking to 0.063" or less with it though (5052 AL).
