Thanks for the answer. So basically, the multi-statement is only really to be used when the function is more complicated than is feasible to do in a inline function, for the sake of readability? Are there any performance benefits at all to multi-statement?

I don't know, but I wouldn't think so. It is probably better to let sql server figure out the optimizations that you might try to make manually (by using variables, temp tables, or whatever). Though you could certainly do some performance testing to prove/disprove this in specific cases.
