I don't see any difference, besides maybe rolling a heavy airframe might need less energy that pitching it.
What am I missing, why is it so extremely important which direction I ram the stick to, to end full VRS?
For Vuichard, I was taught that if I'm at a low power setting to increase to a moderate climb power and use power pedal to maintain heading - the idea being to make sure tail rotor is producing enough thrust to shove me sideways out of the downwash. Also, you want to tilt the rotor in the direction of tail rotor thrust, i.e. in an American helicopter bank right, in a French helicopter, bank left... so that main rotor thrust and tail rotor thrust are working together.
