The idea that date flexibility opposes the advantages of the low season is a bit like comparing apples and oranges when you can't afford to buy both.

Most people can't just manage their time like that. For example, a family with school-aged children doesn't have the luxury to choose the low season, regardless of the price or tranquility.
