I switched all my baitcasters to left hand retrieve so I wouldn't have to move the rod from my right hand to the left after casting. I prefer it. It took a little getting used to. I did it with my salmonid and bass gear. I did it for a few reasons and would reccomend it.

My father took the cheap route and started casting with his left hand. He got a few reels for cheap from me when i switched.
