I have used the Swift LT for about a year. It is a really noisy mask. I tried the FX one night, and I didn't do so well with it. It kept twisting downward and leaking. The Swift LT has been like a miracle cure for me. I went through 7 different masks before I found it. It is the only mask that didn't blow air into my eyes, which nearly drove me insane when I first started on CPAP.
The Swift masks work at all different pressure levels. My inhale pressure is at 20. The lanisoh trick works for me. I put some on the pillows every few days. Then I change the pillows every 6 weeks or so.
I may give the FX another try. It is extremely comfortable, more so then even the Swift LT.
BTW, I did see your comment about feeling that you don't look so sexy using CPAP. There is something that I would like you to consider. How sexy do you think you would look sleeping in a casket? This thing can and does save lives, possibly yours. It is your best friend, and a beautiful tool. It is all how you look at the situation.
