with WebObjects/Wonder, you are actually using Wonder. Yes, Apple’s WebObjects is there but Wonder on top, fixes and replaces many of Apples classes.
http://wocommunity.org/wowodc14/ WOWODC14 is coming up in April. You may think about attending and getting some real knowledge from the experts!
Obviously, you have many considerations. But I would love to see what D2W would do for you. There is a new D2W framwork WOMan by Paul Yu and Ken Ishimoto.
D2W is very powerful and I have just used it on a new project. You have the backend already defined. There will be changes but I would love to see what D2W would look like on this kind of project.
How big is your app?
