Switching out machines?

I just picked up a sweet deal on a used AirCurve:

• ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto
  950 run hours (about 4 months cumulative use)
  $500 CAD (about $350 USD)

My current setup:

• AirCurve 10 VAuto
  10,000 hours - 3.5 years continuous use
  Working great

My spare machine:

• AirCurve 10 VAuto
  9,000 hours - 3 years continuous use
  I've never used it, only tested after buying

Wondering if I should swap in my recently purchased 950 hour machine, and delegate my current daily machine to spare? Or just keep using the same AirCurve, with the newer machine as a spare? Intermittently swap all three of them in/out?

Thoughts?

Dog Slobber;
Personally I would just continue to use the machine Your using ..
If it breaks go to the next, And You can send the broken machine out for
repair or DIY ..
Swapping them around seems like a logistical nightmare keeping track of
which one is next ..
Every machine is a little different (No such thing as identical) manufacturing
tolerances being what they are ..
Good Luck with Your Decision ..

I usually just keep the one I'm using, and have a spare in a 'go bag' ready to grab if I'm going to be spending the night somewhere else, and then have the spare for whichever one breaks.

It depends on whether you used insurance to buy one of the older machines and whether you anticipate using insurance to buy a future machine.

None of my current machines was bought using insurance (at least Ontario's OHIP/ADP equivalent).

I also don't plan on using insurance for my next machine:

• Ontario's tight eligibility requirements would likely only support me getting a fixed pressure CPAP. There *was* a loophole that allowed AirSense 10 for Hers to qualify as a fixed pressure machine. But with the AirSense 11 dropping the distinct for Her model, that loophole has been closed.
• I definitely would not qualify for an AirCurve VAuto
• I would need to do another sleepy study, which I have no intentions of doing again.
