Evora Full Face Mask stuffing up nose

I was using a full-face mask from China (see photo in my avatar) successfully, but was intrigued by the pictures of the F&P Evora FFM and decided to try it. After an adjustment period of a few weeks, it seemed to be working out, so I decided to permanently switch. Unlike the original mask, it lets me wear glasses or a sleep mask, which is why i preferred it.

But then about three weeks ago, it started to give me problems. After three or four hours with it, my nose gets stuffed up, pretty badly, and it wakes me. I can take the mask off and hydrate the nostrils using a saline sprayer, which solves the problem for the rest of the night, but it usually takes me two hours or more to fall back asleep. I've resumed using my original mask, and do not get the congestion with that.

I'm willing to abandon the Evora if necessary, bit if anyone has any suggestions for a fix, going back to it is what I would prefer.

Have you considered raising (or decreasing) the humidity when using the Evora? It doesn't make much sense logically, because, why should your humidity needs change suddenly? But then a sudden change in a mask that functioned well also doesn't make much sense. And have you checked leaks recently?

Yes, I tried changing the humidity, did not seem to change anything. I'll take a look at the Oscar data, but I don't think there have been any leak issues.
