In addition, the front plate on the Airsense 10 is removable.
I was able to clean it aggressively to remove the grey ring around the front knob
without putting the innards at risk.
I could even paint it, if I so wished.
Camo, tie-dye, or escher tessellated sheep.

And the Airsense 10 Autoset doesn't have that annoying whistle at the end of an inhale-exhale cycle that I had to put up with sometimes on the S9 Autoset. The whistle wasn't loud, just disruptive to us light sleepers. Overall, quieter and easier on the maintenance end, as far as I'm concerned. I like the menu layouts better as well. Not quite as scattered.

Advantages of the S9:
- You can detach the humidifier if you are travelling
- IIRC, it uses less current than the AS (battery use)
- Price

Disadvantages of the S9:
- While I like the tank better, the humidifier lid struck me as bit fragile.
- Where the tank dropped in would get gunky.
- Older means likely less useable life (assuming all other factors are equal)
- Menus lack color (huge reach with this one).

The bigger difference is between the models within each trim line. Please note the heated hoses are not interchangeable between the models.
