Achieving success on a global scale through standardization, the experts agree, also is dependent on maintaining enough flexibility to deal with inherent inconsistencies across markets in areas such as compliance, payments and deposits, not to mention cultural differences. But Wells Fargo's ($1.3 trillion in assets) Holroyde warns that there's a very fine line between ***a flexible variable in a tool*** and too much customization.
"One product that works more places consistently but gives up a little nuance in other global markets is better in the end," he insists. "You need to remain flexible without going down the rabbit hole of mass customization. If you do that, you'll start to lose track of variables, spend too much time reacting and fixing things, and then you'll lose sight of real effort."

The next paragraph have explained that clearly.
So you may say:
一个工具的灵活可变性和过多的定制之间有很细微的界限。
灵活可变的工具和大量的定制之间的区别并不明显?
