To answer your question, I'm a 1200hour CFII with no multi... I handle it by banging my head against a wall...it helps. There are no twins up here, so even if I paid for the 15 hours to get my MEI it wouldnt matter. Plus I dont want to spend that much money, I have it, but the only reason I'm a CFI now with money in the bank is cause I've done everything as cheap as possible and I'm not about to change that.
Because I'm bored, here are two simple comparisons for getting multi time. Paying for 41 hours ain't so bad when you look at it like this: It all depends where you go.

ATP:
Multi add-on course - 10 hours multi - $2795
MEI course - 15 hours multi PIC - $3995

Total: $6790 for two ratings and about 25 ME hours

White Air:
Multi add on course - 6-7 hour multi - $1395
MEI - 15 hours PIC - $2250

Total $3645 for two ratings and about 23 ME hours.

And if you took the rest of that ATP money ($6790-3645=3145) that would get you an additional 20-ish ME hours.

For the same money you can get 2 rating and 25 hours, or 2 ratings and 43 hours.

I have used White Air as an example because they are reputable and are here at JC, but I've researched a few other places that are like them. They do exist!
