The reality is most mockup tools either don't produce target platform code (Balsamiq) or produced relatively useless target platform code (Axure).
If you have Sketchflow skills already then I'd consider sticking with it. One thing that will annoy you though is that sketchflow doesn't inherently allow for scrolling web 'pages'. If you don't have existing Sketchflow skills you need to consider that these 'rich' prototyping tools (Sketchflow and Catalyst) have pro's and con's: - Con: harder to learn and less productive than lightweight tools like Balsamiq - Pro: Able to take prototypes to a much richer level of interactivity (and fidelity) - giving them an advantage for really rich UIs (like you'd design for WPF or Silverlight.)

That would be like saying using PowerPoint for a mock-up is in appropriate because it isn't based on WPF/Silverlight/HTML/Flash whatever.

We are now looking at writing an ASP.Net app and he wants to know if he can use SketchFlow to create the mock pages. I've not looked into it, but AFAIK it's XAML only so whilst he can create pages for demo, we can't reuse for our web pages. Is that correct? Is there another tool? I'd hope to use ASP.net MVC framework if that makes a difference. Cheers Mark
