Well, after a rough start last night (apparently, chinstraps are NOT for me) I managed to get to sleep using the Activa LT, complete with leakiness since I'm still trying to get things fine tuned.
I was still wearing it when the alarm went off this morning! I was constantly taking off the Swift LT about 3-4 hours in, but with the nasal mask I don't seem to have as many problems or mouth leaks.
As for the mask leaks, if I put it on loose enough for the cushion to expand properly, I get a LOT of leaks, and this is with a small mask! I'm going to continue fussing with it to see if I can get a good seal... I have a few more days until I go in for more mask testing, so I can at least give the Activa the same amount of time that I gave the Swift.
On a good note, my 7 day average for AHI is down to 5.8!

Certainly sounds like you are making good progress!
Hang in there! It will get easier and that AHI is coming down!

Re: Mask stayed on all night
YES! That's awesome. Keeping it on all night is a major hurdle for a lot of people. I was one of the lucky ones; I think I was just TOO SCARED to dare take it off!

Re: Mask stayed on all night
Just called my sleep center, and I've scheduled a mask fitting on Tuesday... I'm gonna get to try out a FullLife! It'll be a loaner, of course, but I have a lot of hope for this one!
