Weather windows, is probably true, though never been a problem for me, you will need to reduce sail earlier.

Moorage has not been a problem for me, but I am on a swing mooring, and would have been with a mono as well, I don't mind the rowing to my boat and can't afford the marina fees around here. On that point, a multi has an advantage, shallow draft means easier to get a mooring in some places, at low tide (0.3m above lat) I can stand on the bottom in shoulder deep water and walk around my tri while she is on the mooring.
