Left to right seat is a big deal unless you've done it before. Everything you look for has moved. Everything on the right is now on the left. Left is now right. Your flying and power hands have changed. Your sight picture has changed. Now if you fly one airplane from the right seat and another from the left seat it's not the same as switching from left to right seat in the same airplane.
