I once did Marbe Sedra for an enitre year with TY and TY.

Most of the time they're identical and only one is printed (in most Chumashim.)

Most of the time (when both are printed) the diferences are minimal -
and with my grasp of Aramaic they seem "trivial". (As "trivial" as any
nuance in chazal can get.)

Every so often they disagree - and sometimes even argue.

If there's an interest I could try it again and report back; though it
may take an entire year. (I've often thought of "publishing" the
"vortelach" in Targun Onkelus, i.e. where it deviates from strict
translation)
