I'm in agreement that there are other variables at play - the value of the project for you, how "flexible" the client is requesting you be, etc. However, that being said, usually when you compromise on your cost it shows your "flexibility" which is then further taken advantage of in the form extra revisions, time, etc (not necessarily intentional on the part of the client, but this often happens). When the time has a value for both you and the client it is likely better respected and used more efficiently.
Often if the job is worth some compromise I inquire about the clients compromise - it should be a two-way street - can they compromise on the time frame or the deliverables? This usually also helps to put into perspective the compromise and its respective value.
