This is how I view multi-master as well. It's a implementation differentiation more so than technology difference.

Exactly. Enabling "mirrormode" is a prerequisite for multimaster.
The difference between mirrormode an multimaster (as far as I know) these days (post 2.4.6) is really your architecture (whether you allow writes to one master, or more), not the configuration (though more than two syncrepl statements does mean that it can't be mirrormode).
