Never really gotten into CMS myself, beyond the previously mentioned  
"beginner" stuff.    If I was going to go to a heavier CMS, I'd  
probably go with MODx:  It's very modular, and seems to have  
advantages over Joomla and Drupal in terms of ease of set up and lack  
of kruft.  Additionally, it seems to come out ahead in terms of  
usability/look/feel of the admin interface, which may be important in  
convincing a client to go with a CMS that has a little more kick than  
wordpress.
