Control over cover design is a definite plus for self-publishing, although sometimes an expensive one.

That may well be the problem. In which case, why go trad?

There's an author I love who is published through Accent Press (a small trad publisher in the UK) and her books have consistently awful editing. There are multiple passages of text clearly meant to be in quotation marks that are not, missing question marks and sometimes trailing sentences. It's worse that any self-pub work I've ever received, and it breaks my heart because she's such a good author. I can't believe that standard of editing is accepted by trad publishers. I'd be ashamed to put my own books out in that state.
