Does a professional mixing engineer make sense?

Dear Gearslutz

As a band, we're thinking about recording our music with a friend of us, who has decent equipment and many years of experience in live mixing. We already recorded a demotape with him in a nice little room.

The links below are single audio-tracks of a song we made (maybe it helps you to get a better impression of the room and the equipment it was recorded with).

The question now is: Would it be possible to get a professional recording out of this material, if we send it to a professional mixing and mastering studio?

We recorded through the following equipment. The first mic/DI-monotrack for each Instrument is on the left side, the second on the right side on your monitors.
