Difference between High-Altitude and Non-High-Altitude

I have already decided to buy a new F5, but I have a question about the High Altitude tow modes.

I am located @ 4200' ASL so naturally I am interested in the High Altitude Tow Modes, however I do travel to locations that are not high altitude locations (<4,000').

Can you tell me if there would be a problem towing in the lower altitudes with a high-alt tune?

I don't think there would be, but wanted to ask just to make sure.

You will be fine using the high alt. tunes at lower alts.

What exactly are the advantages to a high alt. tune?
I live at 4000' and travel to and from less than that regularly, infrequently above 5-6000'. What are the benefits and or differences.

Thanks
James
