Very low pressure range seems to be right for me

RE: Very low pressure range seems to be right for me
Be careful with generalities. The blanket statement about all feeling air-starved at 7/4 is not true. Whilst you may feel air-starved at that pressure, from our experiences here that is not the case for many, if not most.

Ignoring AHI for the moment as it is just one indicator, the objective is to find SkySleep a range that smooths out the flow rate as best it can whilst also reducing events to as low as possible. It is a balancing act. If he can have a good nights rest with an AHI of 2 and minimal arousals, he may be fine with that.

Allowing the machine to titrate and find the best pressure range seems prudent as opposed to guessing at what that range should be. Whether SkySleep will use a fixed pressure or a small range allowing for some adjustment is his choice.
