I used the old Mirage for years. I "upgraded" to the Activa about a year ago, and it took a bit getting used to. I use the new Ultra Mirage II as a backup, and sometimes just to use a light mask. What I really like about the Mirage is its exhaust system. If only Resmed had used it on the Activa. The Activa does provide the better seal for me, but at a cost.

activa takes up a lot of my face, but it's sooooo soft. i feel nicely squshy in it. plus, the bigger inner layer kind of drops over my mouth when inflated, so it's half a full face mask. i know that makes no sense, but it makes me feel better.

Barb,

I was discussing a similar comparison (Activa to Ultra Mirage) a while back and it turns out the Ultra Mirage II that they're selling now has the Activa's exhaust port. It was the original Ultra Mirage that had the poorly-designed exhaust IIRC. So now we can choose between the Ultra Mirage II vs. Activa purely on whether we want a plain mask or the inflatable, unshakable seal.
