and it looks like John was here just last month. He doesn't post much anymore but apparently he still reads.

There are some differences between the algorithms for ResMed and Philips. A few people can notice the difference but most cannot.
If you are comfortable with your current Philips machine, I do not recommend switching just in case you are one of those folks.

The Philips can take a cellular modem as an accessory and the user can unplug it, If installed it is obvious in the opposite side of the machine from the SD card. It costs extra and is not supplied with the machine.

I can't speak to the issue of noise level, but it is way lower than the sound from my oxygen concentrator. If the concentrator is off, the CPAP seems to me to be silent.
My Philips does not do anything special if I yawn during the night. I get occasional high pressure pulses during the period when I'm trying to go to sleep but that seems normal for an ASV type machine.

The SD card is removable and replaceable. Lack of data space on the card shouldn't be an issue during the physical life of the machine - much less the practical life governed by insurance replacement schedule requirements.
On important difference is that the Philips uses a real DOS file structure while the ResMed used (and may still) a pseudo DOA file structure. Anything written to a ResMed SD card required the machine to reformat the card and most, but not all, of the data on the card is lost

<CPAPTALK user who actually know if this condition still exists in ResMed machines please comment. I'm not a ResMed user so my knowledge in this matter is second hand.>

ResMed fixed this issue beginning with the AirSense models. S9 and earlier had the problem.
