Here is a non sectarian Biblical Archeology Site that looks at the DSS and the MT. Again, there is as the site knows a “relative stability” of the MT, but it does show that the MT is not entirely in agreement with the DSS.

Like I said, I think the evidence now suggests that the MT comes from 1 mainstream Hebrew Textual tradition but that there were other textual traditions in Jewish circles, also mainstream, from where the LXX came from. I think scholars have called this one an Alexandrian-Hebrew textual tradition.

Here is another article from Biblical Archaeology, which again shows evidence for a Hebrew translation from which the LXX was translated, one that is likely different from which the MT was translated.
