>Difficulty and replayability are in opposition to each other as metrics for assessing a game's value.
God, NO, what a completely stupid statement.
Symphony being an easy game doesn't make it bad, but the challenge that a game puts up is by NO means irrelevant to a game's quality or replayability, and CERTAINLY not oppositional or inversely proportional to it.

Look at a game such as Wild Guns on SNES, which is completely different from SoTN. It's not very long, but it's fast paced and fun, has fantastic presentation, and it's tough. More importantly, it's a really fair kind of tough where the game isn't ever cheap, and you can even play it pretty casually if you don't mind surrendering your score to get to the end.
Part of why it's so fun is because of how good it feels to best the game, so even if beating the game only takes about an hour, it's really fun to come back to time and time again. Going from Easy, to Normal, to Hard, really getting into the groove of he game, it's a hoot.

Returning to Castlevania, the ClassicVanias are certainly all harder than Symphony in basically all ways, but they're pretty damn solid games which are very enjoyable and worth coming back to, and part of that is that they put up tough challenges which are fun to best.
