I don't think there's an answer to your question. As has often been mentioned in this forum, each individual seems to have to find the mask that will work for him or her. I really like the mask that I have. In fact, I'm on about my fifth version of the same mask. I have several other masks that many people really love, but they don't work for me, and so they sit in a drawer as emergency backups. Facial structures are so different from one person to the next, and the psychology involved is so unpredictable, that it seems the only way to find the right mask is through trial and error. I suspect some people never find the right mask and give up on CPAP treatment. That's a shame.
