I would start with the financials involved. Then provide two alternatives:

1) Address the usibility concerns he has, using template overrides.

2) Opt to install a completely different, well-maintained admin theme free of charge. It is less annoying to start fresh, then to adjust to slightly different placement / look of something that looks like the old. The latter triggers muscle memory that no longer works.
