  Present data, both from direct Higgs search and from analysis of electroweak
data, are starting to become rather restrictive on the possible values for the
mass of the standard model Higgs. We discuss a new physics scenario based on a
model with decoupling (both in a linear and in a non linear version) showing
how it allows for an excellent fit to the present values of the $\epsilon$
parameters and how it widens the allowed ranges for the Higgs mass (thought as
elementary in the linear version, or as composite in the non linear one).
