You won't master a MVC framework in a week or so, if it is new for you.
Yes, the idea is simple and clean, but actually using some MVC framework
means learning a lot, mainly the API and the way things are done.
All things you can do now in "pure PHP" easily, will be different.

So unless you LIKE to learn MVC, I would advice against it for a simple
website, since you are already an able programmer, as you claim.

My experience with MVC is limited to some projects in Java, and for PHP
only Cake and codeigniter.

My personal impression about the latter 2:
- Cake is very strict: I hate their straight jacket approach, and
stopped using it.
- Codeigniter is much more lenient: you can USE the framework when you
feel the need, but you can skip it as easily too.

I hope this helps you decide.
