IIRC this all started when Respironics came out with its "System One" line of machines. The idea was that if you also had a Respironics mask you knew what mask setting to dial in on your machine. A marketing ploy to get consumers to buy their masks. And, of course, once one manufacturer has a new bell or whistle, the others have to get it too to stay competitive.

I doubt the effect is large enough to warrant concern, but even if it is all you have to do is adjust the machine pressure to compensate. Checking to see if the pressure needs adjustment is something we all should be doing anyway.
