Good to hear things are going well for you, Ma. This is a tough one and your stand for continued independence and control is admirable and brave ... and from what you say, well considered and anything but foolhardy.
Much depends on who the publisher was to be, but -- heading up the editorial team at a small indie myself -- one thing I can tell you is that a publisher who makes an offer, in the full knowledge that the work has already been widely exposed and that author circle sales and self promotional potential may have been fully exploited, might well have had serious marketing plans.
You are right, of course, that cover price would more than likely have been much increased. Your loyal readers will appreciate your consideration of this point.
If you're comfortable with your decision and your readers are happy, you made the right choice.
Best wishes and good luck. Neil
