I have 16+ lvl 50's and a bunch between 20 and 40, and maybe 3-4 sitting at 45+ so I have a lot of alts floating around.

I use my 2nd build option on 60% of them, sometimes its a solo/team build for Defenders/Corrupters, sometimes it's low level TFs/Normal play (like adding stealth/superspeed/recall), and sometimes it's to try combos like Huntsman/Bane or Human/TriForm HEATs.

I use common IO's that I craft myself for most second builds, sometimes just SO's (Huntsman side has sets IO/Bane side is just SO's).

I actually have a Bane build at 39 who has a Stealth Build and a Ranged Build, both are frankenslotted and have +3 Def Steadfasts and KB. I farmed AE Tix and rolled 10-14 recipes on some level locked Door Sitters (lvl 15/20/25/35 respectively) and slot all the Acc/Dam commons and uncommons that I can craft.

Anyway I use a ton of 2nd builds but have a bunch of respecs anyway floating around.

I'd be in favor of an ultra expensive, rare respec recipe that lets us empty a build of all IO's not just 10/respec, maybe make it cost 1 Billion minimum (might be a great influence sink) and have the result of increasing "supply" of primo IO's causing a drop in "demand". Hmmmm.

I have around 50 characters, and not a single one of them has an alternate build. I had a Kheldian who had a Nova and a Dwarf build, but I deleted her, and I never used the Nova build anyway.

Of my 28 toons, none use the 2nd.

Since some people only mentioned thier L50's, figures may be lower.
Among non-forumites, i.e., most of the playerbase, figures are likely lower.

Through 4 pages that is 131/2652 for 4.94%. I also agree with BBQ_Pork that the overall figures are substantially lower.

There are better people in worse shape....
