Editing is a professional skill, which is completely different to the skill of writing. If you don't get your book professionally edited, it's probably going to look as though it was done by an amateur. I would ask whether, if you consider yourself to be a professional author, you can afford
not to use a professional editor. If you don't do so, you're not presenting
your work to its best advantage.
