If the primary reason to move to Frame 8 is to go structured and take advantage of conditions using attributes, then I suggest they go structured in 7.2 and use ABCM from West St. Consulting. Or go to FM8 for other reasons (like track changes) and still use ABCM. The frame implementation of condition by attribute seems very clumsy to me. By comparison ABCM (or Sourcerer) is much easier to use (and free). And for text insets, I suggest using Insets Plus (also from West. St. also free.)
The big issue is not moving to FM8, it is moving to structured FrameMaker. (which I think is a good thing, but will probably be more costly to them in time and effort than buying the fm8 licenses.)
