I don't know. Given the humidifier fiasco w/the M Series and the power connector on the early S8 series and Respironics touting their EncoreAnywhere and from what I understand the EncorePro 2.1 not quite ready for release yet ....... I'll work on getting the EncorePro 2.1 FIRST then give some consideration to the SystemOne - AND since I need a bi-level, hopefully they will have all the "bugs" worked out by the time they release a SystemOne bi-level. Maybe there ARE some benefits to needing a bi-level, ya think?

Encore Pro 2.1 has been released by Respironics.

According to multiple sources at PR, they are working on a patient version. But there is no time commitment yet. They all say a new version of Encore Viewer that will work with the PR System One REMstar Auto is coming.

I hope so, as I have the machine... and so far, absolutely love it. And the new humidifier is fantastic! I hated the old one.

Also keep in mind that the machine this replaces, is being discontinued. Here is what one online supplier says:

Thinking about getting an M Series? You better hurry!
The top rated M Series with A-Flex has been discontinued to make room for a new wave of Respironics machines. Quantities are limited.

I'd rather have the professional version, the EncorePro 2.1, than any patient version anyway. Thanks, SoCalMonkey, for keeping us so well informed. Now - I'll be waiting for that SystemOne bi-level.

I don't understand what Respironics' problem is about giving 7 night averages and not nightly data. If Resmed can do it, you would think Respironics could. Ah well.
