Carl, It may be important to find out *why* the client wants an MSI version. My guess would be because they are using (or want to use) some kind of system management software (e.g. Microsoft's SMS), and it handles MSI files with less effort than other installation types. (Worst case scenario, they may even be forced to "repackage" your installation themselves to use it with their system management tool.)
NSIS, being script based, can do things that an MSI can't (like perform as a bootstrapper and handle prerequisites). You may find that, depending on the reason why the customer wants what they do, that using NSIS as a wrapper/bootstrapper around the WiX generated MSI file is a better choice.
