difference 1

your resulting mix has swapped channels because you invert A
  instead of B

difference 2
(both methods have further steps not detailed here)

you aren't defining that A and B should be mixed equally, that's 
  important for creating what the user perceives unambiguously
   as a width control. (which I assume *isn't* what you want to do)


I guess your method works best for you,
not suggesting you should change it.
...but I've no idea where it came from ;-)
