Why is there a $2,896 difference between helicopter single and multi but a $5,934 (more than double) difference for fixed wing?

Almost any multi engine endorsement on helicopters will be a twin turbine endorsement (all? - I can't think of any piston multi-engine helicopter), and therefore extremely expensive in comparison to a twin piston fixed wing endorsement.

Sure, the starting rate there is higher, but we're looking at close to $50,000 just to get to CPL level, let alone Command Instrument Rating on top of that.

Is this a misprint, or is there some reasoning behind this that I'm not seeing?
