Wouldn't a mixture of both products be formed in this case since both carbon atoms in the double bond are secondary?

Yeah, that sounds right.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
