I just showed you I outfitted my toad for 4 flat with braking system for half that, which was the same price you bought a tow dolly with braking system for; so in that case there was no price advantage either way.
The is a convenience advantage bot ways:
Tow Dolly is convenient because of the flexibility to tow different cars within its weight limits.
Flat Tow is convenient because of the quick connect/disconnect.

Different people put different weights on all the factors when considering how to pull a toad. What one person decides may not be right for what another person decides even if they are looking at the same equipment. Do what you think works best in your estimation after becoming educated on all the pros, cons, and options.
Blue OX

Base Plate 430.00
Tow Bar 750.00
Accessory Kit (lights, pin and cover) 288.00
Safety Cable Kit 75.00
Braking System 1425.00

Total 2968.00

The price does not include sales tax (133.00) or installation of the base plate and light kit (300.00).

I plan on outfitting the MKZ in the future but cost is definitely not a pro or even a wash.
