FrontPage built vs HomeSite update

Hi Friends:

I've been given an opportunity to quote on updating a site that was built 
entirely in FrontPage.  They are looking for someone to use FrontPage to do 
the work as well as create a new area.

Specifically, it sounds like a catalog-type site with roughly 300 pages. The 
new area to be created will be roughly 40 pages. There is also a search 
engine on the site.

I've asked several people if I could do the updating using HomeSite rather 
than using FrontPage since I have no experience in FP.  I've gotten back 
conflicting responses that range from "no problem" to "I wouldn't touch that 
with a ten foot piece of lumber..."

Can the group here render an opinion?  Is this a can of worms I should stay 
away from since there might be proprietary extensions to worry about?

As always, thanks for any guidance and advice....  :-)
