I think you cannot compare ANY lead keel ballasted boat to a multi. The speed and sailing characteristics are just too different. A better comparison would be with non-ballasted skiffs or scows- Melges 17, Vector, 49er, E-scow (assym now class legal). Sportboats are still keelboats- ie you can/t turn one over. And that is always a big consideration for the buyer whether they want to admit or not. I have sailed on Olson 30's and Hotfoot 20's in SF Bay. A wild ride to be sure, but still absolutely no comparison the the few races I crewed on a H20 in the bay. Too bad we did not have a spinn.
