InDesign vs. FrameMaker?

We need some advice for a client. They produce training manuals with text, many photos, technical drawings and tables. Page sizes vary from 8.5x11 to 34x11, and page counts number from 30 impressions to over 1000 pages depending on the subject matter of the manual. The end result is a print-ready PDF.

Our customer's team uses Adobe FrameMaker to author these documents, and they've asked for a recommendation on other software applications they should consider. They want to ensure they're using the appropriate application for creating their documents.

Adobe InDesign was mentioned as an alternative to FrameMaker. What feedback can you give me on InDesign vs. FrameMaker for technical documents, based on the above description of the work?
