It really depends upon how well they're built.

This is VITAL. If converting to WP is done by someone whose SEO knowledge is weak, rankings can suffer a lot of damage.

I'm presently involved in helping to rescue a site that lost a big percentage of its organic search traffic after a very bad WP conversion a few months ago. The site looked nice, but on the technical side many things were poorly done.

Pay what it takes to get someone truly competent.
