It depends. Do you have to proof that the problem can be solved within your product? Then use the same products to build it.
Otherwise, what is the risk of your Boss cancelling the project when he finds out that you used another framework? Does he believe you that it will really proof the thing can be implemented?
Will he fall for the user interface, or can he abstract it and look at the underlying problem?
Will he appreciate the time gained or is time no problem?
I would let him decide. He is the one paying for it.
Edit to react to comments: I hope that this thread would give a nice set of arguments to come to your boss with a well prepared suggestion, with risk analysis and all. Then, let him decide. If he is the kind of person that does not like to decide, do it for him then gently.
