The only mask problem I had was the lovely Cressi Big-Eyes that I bought just before going CCR was wasted because all my added 'down view' was blocked by the hoses. <sigh>

Yes. Everything they say about nose breathing is true. Most of us had to break the habit. I don't see any reason to go for low volume though as equalising a mask doesn't take significant gas on any form of scuba. However, I admit, a really low volume mask did put 15 meters on my freedive comfort zone.
