Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Greg, or anyone else, I think I'm to the point where my need to  
release some music is at odds with my ability to mix or master with  
any competence.  I know online mixing and mastering has been  
discussed in this forum before, but a google search shows hundreds of  
options ranging from just mastering for $15/song to multi-thousand  
dollar mixing/mastering operations.

I have no idea how to pick one.  Does anyone have any experience with  
anyone they would recommend?  Unfortunately cost is a huge factor,  
but if I can't afford anyone better than me, there's no point in  
farming this out in the first place.

Obviously I will listen to online demos of previous work, but don't  
know how that will compare to my own work and recording blemishes.   
I'm doing instrumental piano, flute and cello celtic-ey / new age-y /  
classicalesque stuff.

Thoughts?  Recommendations?

Thanks,

Gregory
