I sent Bleep a message about it and I may have an older eclipse design, so I'll give it another go when I get the update.

RE: Does anyone like the Bleep Dreamport better then the Eclipse?
As I said in an earlier comment, I've used the Dreamports successfully for a few leak-free years now.  At that time, I had not tried the Halos.

Since that comment, I recently tried the Halos once, very briefly. Overall, I had issues with the Halos. First, I didn't like applying them to the nose. With the Dreamports, you have the stems to hold onto as you place them properly on the nose. With the Halos, there's nothing to hold onto making them more difficult to place on the nose. Also, the Halos have to be cut just right to make sure that there's no overlap over the magnets.

Also, I had leaks. I'm not sure what the reason for the leaks was as I didn't investigate it. Instead I just took them off and went back to the Dreamports.

I believe the Halos also felt heavier, but I can't recall for certain after just that brief usage.

Lastly, I didn't like the feeling of connecting and disconnecting with the magnets.

I'm planning to try them again during the day just to see if I can work out the problems, but I never seem to get around to it.

You can add me to the list of preferring the dreamports. Much easier to place the ports on the nose with the port as a "handle," plus I have the dreaded inhale turbulence noise that I don't quite understand, quietened down by sliding another piece of diffuser material in (don't understand that either) and moving the hose around, but just don't want to mess with it. The halos plus the magnets is noticeably heavier on the nose as well.
I could probably practice through the rest of the halos I have and get it down pat, but why would I do that when I have no issues at all with the ports?
