Multiple Wordpress instances vs Multisite (performance-wise)

I have around 15 Wordpress sites, all of them are very low traffic (100-500 reqs/day) and I want to host these on a small VPS (actually, a Linode 512), serving these with the Nginx/php-fpm combo. The question is the following: will 15 wordpress installs use more RAM than a single multisite install ?

According to this thread, the performance difference is negligible: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/performance-of-wpmu-vs-single-installs

However, the time you save on administrative tasks might make Multisite worth the effort (WordPress updates, theme & plugin updates, backups, etc).
