Not sure if is the right forum section, but what handling changes could you expect between running props RH on the port side versus RH on the starboard and vise-versa for the LH prop?

I am no expert, but I believe for the most part people say that turning out is easier to maneuver around the docks, and turning them in is faster full out. However, a lot has to do with the specific hull and whether you need bow or stern lift. There are a lot of factors. But someone should be able to help you more.

Pearl is right.
Outward provides better in gear idle manuveralability (great for docking). Inward (tips of props rotating toward the center of the transom) creates better bow lifting and often better top end speeds.
Bravo drives allow you to test via switching the props without switching the drives and using reverse to go forward for testing.
Personal seat of the pants testing reaps the best decision for your boating habits.

I'm going to try to run them outward and see how it handles. Boat is fat enough. Better handling around the docks would be a bonus for a few MPH

Sounds good. Let us know if we need to make any adjustments.
