I would think every skin cell would have fits with the rushing air. I am the one who posted, "Nose with Attitude: Both nasal and pillows. What to do?" I am one again considering a FF mask.

I have only used FFM and I don't notice a rush of air on my face. I started with a Resmed Mirage (circa 2000) and went to an Ultra Mirage with the self destructing forehead support, to the Quattro FX without the forehead support, so I no longer have indents on my forehead.
That mask has worked well for me, as I have been using the same Quattro FX mask for almost 5 years (replaced the cushion once), and have 3 more in the closet, so... it appears that it is going to be my choice for the foreseeable future. In all honesty, when comparing to the masks from 15 years ago, everything is a vast improvement.
I have done one mod... I gave up on factory headgear 6 months after I got my initial Mirage. Through some trial and error, I have settled on elastic straps with plastic slides and I cover the straps with a sports headgear. I use cut narrow wrist bands to replace the long gone foam cushions that slide over the FX upper strap arms. May not work for everyone, but I have no complaints.
