That's an interesting point. I suspect had the Fujiokas adopted Mei instead of Misaki, there would've been some differences in both girls' outlooks on life. I mean, personality is encoded on you at birth, but I suspect Misaki's sanguine attitude would've been strained by Kirika; on the other hand, she might've had an easier time getting along with her adoptive mother than Mei, who in all honesty is too much like Kirika.

It'd be interesting to see how Mei would've reacted to the Curse had she not actually been in 3-3. She still could've met Kouichi at the hospital, but unless Misaki said something, she wouldn't have actually known about the Curse. Of course, since she's not actually in the class, I honestly think she'd function better as the main PoV character, since it's just as much a mystery to her as Kouichi.

Of course, this leaves us with the problem of who the Extra would've been had it not been Mei.
