I agree. Different ears and techniques on a project offer a different perspective. And I don't know anyone who just makes music for themselves, so such a thing is highly beneficial, especially when at the hands of someone who at least has some experience highlighting the positives of a project and minimizing the negatives, as per an opinion outside the subjectivity of the original artist that wishes to appeal to someone other than themselves, in general.
