I think the wing sweep mechanism is more complex. That's about it.

When the wings sweep fully back the device that covers the gaps for full-forward sweep folds up into a fence. That looks more complex than the way the B-1 does it, but not in a good way. :grin:

the B-1 has a manual wing sweep selection system; ie, NOT like the F-14 that had an automatic wing sweep, maybe that is what they are referring to, does the Blackjack have auto-sweep?

Not certain. However, that's a pretty simple thing to say makes the system more complex!
