A lot of people feel there was a performance hit with multi-piece rods in the past, with the 2 piece always being the "better" rod, at least in terms of casting performance.
These days though if a manufacturer even makes a 2 piece version of a rod it doesn't feel at least in my hands to be superior to the multi-piece. Most of the time it's just the opposite, I prefer the action of a multi-piece over a 2 piece.
Sage's new saltwater rod isn't even available as a 2 piece.
