Most of the dispute regarding the Secunda is whether Origen transcribed it himself, or whether Origen copied (or based it) on an older existing text (this, too, could be said of other columns). How much different Secunda pronunciation is from Tiberian seems to vary from one scholar to another, although various generalizations have been concluded by most of them (such as the lack of the effect of Philippi's Law present in MT/Tiberian Hebrew, and some general rules of what letters do and do-not geminate).

I have wanted to make comparisons, myself, but other than very short transcripts, I have yet to find a full copy of the Secunda that I can examine for myself (at least, not in my price-range). Like most non-MT and non-G-NT texts, this is an area highly under-published (relatively speaking). Most of what I find are short extracts (which I would conclude as poorly representative unless I could compare it to the whole to say otherwise).
(I am also searching for other mss from other textual families. I have a copy of the Samaritan Pent. based on a few witnesses, but how accurate it is to the textual family, I'm not sure. I'm still searching for vocalized texts based on the Babylonian and Palestinian traditions, as well. I know how to read the niqqud for each of these latter-stated traditions, I just don't have complete texts to examine for myself. I really do not want to rely on various third-party scholastic examinations, alone, and would prefer to witness what they conclude first-hand. Call me a little-anal.)
I may have to splurge on my budget to getting better texts to work from.

In lack of reporting first-hand examinations, I can only really report what is available in the various journals on the subject.
