Opus vs Swift vs Confortlite II
I have only experience 1 week with Swift II. I had to change from medium pillow to large pillow and seems to be working fine for me.

1 week under my belt addition
I forgot to mention that my pressure is 20/15. I find the Ramp feature seems to work best. DME set it at 6 and going up from there for 45 minutes when I go to bed. It takes me longer to go to sleep now but I just thing about breathing in , breathing out.

ResMed versus Resporonics BIPAP machine?
A few days ago I asked about ResMed VPAP Malibu but only got one response-was hoping for more info-am leaning to the M series BIPAP Auto w/Biflex against the ResMed VPAP Vantage. Pressure 20/15 so I am considered a severe case having stopped breathing 106 times an hour in my sleep test. I do not hav...
