On the one hand, the rate is lower in SS than the major DX contests, so you
can use the second radio more. This is especially true on Sunday, when
things can get very slow. On the other hand, the long exchange on the second
radio can delay working someone answering your CQ on the other radio. It can
get a little awkward sometimes. This happens in DX contests, too, but less
frequently.
My general feeling, though, is that SO2R has definite benefit in SS.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] How to SO2R for a SS newbie?
I'm an experienced SO2R op in the DX contests, but never seriously
operated SS (and don't plan to be serious this year either, as I will be
returning from HST in DL just a few days prior to SS). How different is
SO2R in CW SS where you have a real exchange to copy?
Tnx,
