I agree the various techniques are different but I do think they ultimately lead to the same "space".
Every now and then I do swap mindfulness of sound for breath and occasionally work with candle gazing and what I call diffuse vision which I suppose is more associated with Dream Yoga.
What I find with all of them is they seem to me very organic because they don't require fabrication of an object to attend, and diffuse vision seems to me very much like eyes-open resting in awareness where visual focus is relaxed, not focusing on anything specific, instead being aware of the entire field of vision.
