Both the 'heavy duty' and 'standard' brakes you link to have a capacity of 16 ga (0.060) mild steel (at 48" wide!), which means you can force the machine to go a little thicker. 0.090 aluminum should be OK, also at 48" wide. There are ways to bend even thicker stuff, like drilling an 1/8" relief hole every inch or so along the bend line, the effort reduction is significant.
Their bigger machine, which can do 12 ga (0.105) steel at 96" length is, unfortunately, almost $7k. This will happily bend 1/8" aluminum 8' long...
My very best advice is to call Baileigh and have a conversation with them.
