You have conflicting equipment listed:
Humidifier: PR System One Heated Humidifier
Additional Comments: resmed vpap adapt sv

This humidifier doesn't go along with the ResMed machine.

If you are referring to this machine: BMC Luna GII 3.5 Auto
The specs look pretty good, the monitoring software is available and they have a pulse-oximeter attachment for the machine that should provide good data.

However, the price is not yet set nor is the availability. And there have been no user reports, etc. so good to watch, but the machine is not on the SleepyHead list of supported machines so you would be dependent on the manufacturers software for monitoring therapy. The manufacturer is in Australia with no indication of when it will be available or if it will be available in the US.
