Weight is a dirty (and unsafe) condition for a multihull.
I think the monohull might have 5 times the room as well as 5 times the cruising range .
Even at low speeds the wave forms will cause more rapid accelerations on the try.
At $7,000 each Stidd seats to keep the spine intact could pay for a bunch of fuel.
In the 1960's I owned a Hedly Nichol 45 ft Voyager try.
Good speed under sail, 15+K required winds that made it uncomfortable at sea.
