LL1 increase vs M1L increase?

Hi all. I'm working on the Quest Vest pattern and it has RL1 and LL1 for increases, which I've never used before. I'm finding the RL1 works fine and creates a nice "edge" but the LL1 ... I don't know if I'm just losing tension or what, but it looks sooo sloppy! And It's def NOT an "invisible" increase ... It looks awful with a "holey" appearance. 😕

I'm going to tink back the front panel to the shoulder (I haven't gone that far yet) because the LL1 increases are going to be so visible; I know it'll bother me a lot. Is there any reason to not switch up the increases to M1L? I've been looking online and the examples I find don't seem to look very different from each other ... 🤔🤷 Would appreciate some feedback from knitter's who've worked with both stitches. Thank you!
