Amen to the "don't outsource UI" concept. However, I'd disagree with the common misconception that you can sprinkle magical UI dust once the project is largely done.
For most projects, I think you need a user-experience designer/advocate on the team from day 1... Which, incidentally, is when the best UI guys are looking for jobs-- the idea of coming in and playing design/UX cleanup on an existing app is a helluva lot less fun than being involved from the get-go.
