The concept that you 'have to get used to' differing MR direction and pedal inputs is, IMO, a furphy. If the nose needs to go left, push left pedal and if it needs to go right, push the right pedal. Those who overthink the issue are creating their own problem.
Also flying the EC135 I know that there are CCW Helis with fenestron as well.

I also agree to just press the needed pedal to keep it straight. I never had a problem with that.

Nevertheless there might be habits for instructors that always trained on R22/R44 in situations like autos where trained movements kick in.
