Question Sideways quick stops

Looking for the pros/cons of sidways quick stops. I have been told you can stop the helicopter quicker.

You start in normal forward flight. At the start of the quick stop apply left peddle as the ship reaches 90 degrees to direction of flight start a left cyclic flare. Collective use is same as forward quick stop.

Being a low time rotor guy I've never seen this done.
