The financial pain of getting an edit is quite a lot - that said we pushed ours through, cost quite a bit (over $1000) and subsequently followed up with a proof from another person. It costs but it does also give one a bit more of a sense of security when putting the book out.

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but if there's some bad editing, faults and all that; it doesn't bother me. If the story is good, I just read on and it is as annoying=, a coffee-stain. But I guess I'm one of the few, as I sometimes see some angry posters about bad editing.
