Silly tradeoff, but typical of motor sailors/sailing.

Wind isn't blowing the right direction? Easier to motor than tack. Sailing upwind? Easier to motor than have the guests stumbling into walls due to heel. Variable winds? No wind? Have to be at <place> by <time>? Easier to motor.

Yeah, then get the double masted one? They made huge sacrifices and redesign to focus on a feature they barely use. Which is why I think it's silly.
