Forgive me, for I've not done this myself, but it seems the two are similar. In Sessions method you load the hops in a hop bag, attach to lid with maget on the outside, ferment as normal in the keg, drop the magnet when you want to dry hop, then transfer to another keg for carbonation.Won't opening the keg to remove the hops introduce oxygen?
I use a hop spider that the dip tube slots into. Except the hops go outside of it, giving more contact to the beer.

The process.
1) Put the hops in the keg, seal and purge.
2) Rack the beer into the keg via the beer out tube.
3) Leave for 2 days at fermentation temperature then chill somewhere between over night or a couple of days.
4) Transfer beer to another keg for carbonation.
I think the only difference is that the second method does not allow for fermentation in keg prior to adding the dry hop.
