It looks like the Swagelok tube benders are the way to go for stainless from reading various forums. Except they don't make a 3/16" version. It appears the 600 series Ridgid benders are basically knockoffs and they have a 3/16" version. That's model 603. The 1/4" version is model 604. They're made in China, so I thought I'd check AliExpress. They're on there. Reviewers say they're the real thing, but even if they're a knockoff of the knockoff I guess that's not so bad. Test Equipment Depot in the US has them for a little more.

The 1/4” one I have is similar to that. I don’t like the offset handle as it just makes it harder for me to keep all of my bends in the right planes.

Just wanted to make a correction to post #42 in this thread:

The Defender clutch hose fittings are 7/16"-20 (not 11mm x 1.25).
