BiPAP or AutoPAP-why choose one or the other? I'll go for an Auto BiPAP because, someone correct me if I'm wrong, an Auto BiPAP can be set up to work just like an AutoPAP and you end up having all 3 types of machine, CPAP, APAP, BiPAP roll into one.

You can't configure an Auto Bi-PAP to run as an APAP. But, straight CPAP, yes.

I would say "It all depends.....".
If there weren't some specific "need", (like titration, pressure or medical), for Bi-level therapy, then the Auto w/A-Flex would be the way to go. In order to "legally" obtain a Bi-level machine, you need a specific prescription for one.
