I'm going to have to agree with SleepyGuy...the Mirage Vista would be better for me if it didn't leak between the eyes. I loved this mask and it would have been perfect except for the between the eyes thing....

Guys, the feedback has been wonderful so far - please keep it coming! I'm meeting with a respiratory therapist at a medical supply store in a few days to get some firsthand knowledge of the masks (see them, hold them, etc) and I went to an AWAKE meeting tonight and was actually able to put a CPAP mask on for a few minutes -- I've got a new perspective now! Are there any questions I should be sure to ask the respiratory therapist on Thursday? Any other feedback?

Yes... now that you mention it: "Got any free sample masks for my good cyber pals at cpaptalk.com?"

Design a mask to stay on one's face even when one sleeps on the back, both sides, and stomach. One that can be worn while wearing glasses. One that the headgear doesn't slip on long hair. Maybe one that goes over the entire head.
