Yes. You must do that. bespoke and off-the-shelf solutions are very different (for obvious reasons) and will require a different amount (and type) of work on your part.

I'm working on an osCommerce related project at the moment and my personal opinion is: It works. Code is poor. No
SEO (there are plugins available but they're not very good).
Check these
live shops and make up your own mind.
CubeCart looks good
An off-the-shelf solution like CubeCart is propably the best for you and your client:
1) quicker than coding from scratch (MUCH quicker)
2) cheaper
You get paid less, but you have more time for other stuff...
The quicker you complete projects the quicker you can start new projects and so on...
