The thing is as I understand what you're dealing with, if you allow an assumption, and if that assumption says you need a machine capable of dealing with CA as the major need. You may also have other apnea events. Today's choice is ASV. Before the ASV, the best choice was probably ST-A.
I have used a ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV for about 2.5 years. It is capable of dealing with apnea related events including OA, CA, Hypopnea, and I will also say Flow Limits as mine was near zero FL quite consistently and I'm COPD. ASV may or may not be best for UARS, PLM, etc. and/or events that aren't apnea related. Also, if you have other breathing issues like COPD, then ASV may not be the best choice as I had found out.
Again, I am not stating what device you need or don't, nor am I talking in reference to any of your symptoms in this one specific post. Just a bit of info on my knowledge of the ASV and o from a guy that used it.
Good stuff Dave thank ! I think I assume to much thank you so much for keeping me in check ! I need a kick in the pants every now and again !
