Seriously, I've never been required to do more than one W&B for any flight I've
ever made, and I don't recall that the gear position was ever even considered.
I've never failed a written test or check ride either, including regular part
135 rides.

For both my private and commercial rides I was required to do a W&B for
takeoff and landing fuel loads. Additionally, for my commercial ride, I
had to account for the gear position, as Matt said, giving you four
different configurations.

This was another point of emphasis for my DE. Different examiners have
different favorite topics. For the purpose of the original question, my
suggestion stands.

I'm not questioning your experience, just relaying mine.
