[quote="Anonymous"]In light of the fact Resmed is increasing their online prices by 40% in August, I'd cast my vote for Respironics. Why buy a product from a company that gouges the consumer if you don't have to?

[quote="Anonymous"]Rastaman jumps both ways. This is what he wrote less than a week ago:

"I HAD the Remstar Plus M Series with C-flex (not the same animal but.....I liked C-Flex) and now I have the s8 Autoset Vantage by Resmed. It does not have c-flex but it does have EPR IF I was using CPAP mode. But I'm not. So, I'm not getting c-flex. At first I thought it wasn't necessary. And it's really not. But if the two machines were sitting side by side I would probably get the Remstar Auto for that extra feature. "

Moral of the story, don't count his vote.

My vote is for the Remstar Auto with cflex.

I wouldn't blame you for being biased. You have an excellent machine. I feel I do too, both with the S8 and the Remstar Plus M series I've used. I expect a PB Goodknight would be excellent as well. Beyond that I'm not sure. I've heard no real feedback beyond those three.
