You are correct, I've only used the B&W and not the Andersen.
What I like about the B&W is that I can couple without getting out of my truck.
I back into the hitch and it locks in place. I get out, verify it is latched, inset locking pin, raise landing gear and I'm done.
Can you do that with an Andersen?
You back under the Andersen until you are lined up, get out of your truck lower the pin box into the hitch ,latch ,and whatever. Raise the landing gear, and you are done. Can't see any difference ,you have to adjust the height of the pin box to accommodate whatever hitch BEFORE you actually back into the hitch .
With my conventional hitch I back up to the pin box get out adjust the height get back in the truck back under, get back out to finish the process. I don't know anyone that does it much different then that. Pretty tough to only get of the truck to latch , and raise landing gear.
