Any new mask better than AirFit P10

Any new mask better than AirFit P10
I like the AirFit P10 however was wondering if anyone has found a mask they like better. The only thing I dislike about this mask is the pressure the straps make under my eyes. 
Thanks!

Go to some of the online stores and look at some of the pictures of masks. You can get a good idea what your looking for. Doesn't really help to recommend masks. It's something you have to try yourself. Example, lots of people raved about the F20 Air Touch. I couldn't get it to work for me.

If you're unhappy with the pressure, you can adjust it by changing where the two rearward straps are positioned on your head.  I put the upper strap at the very top middle of my head and the bottom strap down below my hairline.  It's still too tight, and so I stretched it out for a few minutes.  

If you like the P10 type mask, I still think you'll like the Dreamwear.  Its a similar mask, though you'll want to change the mask type on your AirSense from Nasal to Pillow.

The F & P Brevida is similar--softer in the nose, but I have a small head and the very minimal headgear is almost too big. I haven't solved the leak problem with it. My DME gave me a sample P10 for Her (made for a one time use during a sleep test) but I haven't tried it yet--all parts a little smaller.

+1 for the Brevida with the added bonus that its straps are fully adjustable.  I tried it on a trial basis and have really liked it.  I'm a side sleeper and i find that it doesn't dislodge like the P10 tended to do over time with me.  Leaks are virtually nil with this mask as it wraps around the lower part of the nose creating a seal around the nostrils.

Like sonicboom, I too really like the F&P Brevida. It is quiet and has adjustable headgear straps. I have less leakage problems as opposed to the P10.

How does this 'Brevida' feel on the upper lip? Is it heavier than the P10? How about comfort on the pillow portion? I'm clearly interested in how people feel about the mask after they have been using it for a while? Is it a brand new mask on the market?
