Depends on the contest, where you are (USA vs. DX QTH), time-of-day, 
time-of-year, sunspot number, etc.

At this point in the sunspot cycle, there are few opportunities to 
productively dual CQ and interleave QSO's when operating a DX contest 
from the USA side.  During the time you are transmitting on an 
unproductive band, you are not making your presence known on the 
productive band. This leads to lower rates on the productive band, and 
not making QSO's on the unproductive band.

By the way, a good SO2R not only works multipliers on the "2nd radio" 
but also works non-multipliers, as long as those non-multipliers 
generate QSO points.
