There are other differences. Left tilt allows you to change blades from the right side and tighten the arbor nut in the normal direction (clockwise). Right tilt allows you to change blade widths (like thin kerg or dado) without having to recalculate the fence offset.

If you use a crosscut sled on the left side of the table and have a right tilt saw, then you can precut the zero clearance first cut at 45 degrees which will then still be zero clearance for a normal 90 degree cut. To achieve this on a left tilt you will either have to have two sleds or use it on the right side of the table.

I’d say rather worry about getting plenty of power, a flat top and decent safety mechanisms over which way the blade tilts.
