1.if benkowen is used, anglo-english isnt that farfletched

It's okay but the problem is that when white plays Bg2 black has to play something like Nc6 and white can develop their knight to e2 and always keep an eye on the diagonal

Anglo and English are the same thing. It'd be like saying the "English-English opening"
