I haven't used dot net nuke since at least one of those rewrites but I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. 

Definitely check it out but if I'd check out embraco first. 

If possible, build a tiny throw away project in both. Same project and see which suits you. DNN may turn out to be magic for your needs.
