I was in the same situation when I first purchased my PC200LC-6. At first, I changed over my control lines to left handed boom. But, the more I thought about it, the more sense the sae controls with boom and bucket on the right made more sense as it was more logical to have that type of pattern. So, I forced myself to learn sae controls.
Any new control pattern that I've learned, I found the easiest way is 15 minutes on the machine and then break for a while. Give your brain time to adjust to it. Get back on and do it again. Recite, "boom up, boom up, boom up" while raising boom. Do the same for the other controls. Work 15 - 30 minutes at a span and rest your head 30 minutes. Repeat.
I started with a Hein Werner C-12 with 2 hand and 2 foot controls. My second excavator was a Case Drott 35 with 2 hand and 2 foot controls that were mirrored patterns. That was a pain to learn due to the mirror image but I would run both machines all day and NEVER miss a lick once my head was wrapped around the pattern. Then I added a small tractor backhoe with left hand boom joysticks and then the Komatsu with right hand boom. As long as I owned and kept running all of the equipment every couple of months, I never missed a beat.
Today, I only run sae (right hand boom-bucket) but some of my other machines when going from track to articulated is almost mirrored when steering backwards. Never a problem as long as I continue to run each one every few months. It's better to be able to run anything efficiently than limit yourself to one control pattern only.
