Flooded Electrolyte Advantages:
Lowest initial cost - True!!
Higher cranking amps so excellent for starting applications - False. In many cases AGM's offer higher CCA than FLA's do
Water can be added when over charged - True
Tolerant of improper recharge voltage - True, as long as electrolyte level is monitored. IMHO, this is the #1 FLA advantage!
Certain designs are good for deep cycle applications - True, but not more so than AGM's
Replacements readily available True, but not more so than AGM's. For example, the DieHard Platinum's are available at hundreds of Sears stores across the country.
Good under extreme cold conditions when fully charged. True, but given the same temp' & SOC, AGM's outperform FLA's

There are always exceptions when making comparisons but my comments were based on the general case.
I was just posting advantages since they were asked for.
