I've worked as a freelancer for a while, and have often worked with mixes of freelancers, permanent employees and everything in between.
I think there's a big difference between bringing on a boutique consulting shop and hiring freelancers who sit together in your office. The sense of ownership and professional responsibility is way higher in the latter case. In fact I'd even go as far to say that many freelancers have MORE professional pride than permanent employees, many of whom just want to draw a paycheck and live their life.

YMMV of course!
