I have heard on this group of studies which also point out that 7% saline is more effective at keeping MAC away than the 3% saline. I could be misremembering.

You are remembering correctly! There have been a number of studies published. This may be the most readable one:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4850692/pdf/13104_2016_Article_2054.pdf
Along with airway clearance, I truly believe it has helped keep my lungs clear of infections.
