Fuck all wrong with engine conversions if they are done right, they are just as reliable as any other car, stop putting the lad off  I'd swap for the C if it is mechanically OK.

Yes, I'd say it would be worth a fair bit more, which raises the question of why he wants to swap  not to mention the Corsa will be ten times more fun

I'd swap providing the conversion on the C has been done right.

And keep the astra IMO! It was between the astra and the clio, but the clio won for me

My mates C converted to Z20LET has had no problems apart from ones that would have occured if the engine was still in the original car anyway.

If it looks in good nick then I'd swap tbh. Will be more fun 
Plus you'll get middle aged people thinking it's a 1.2, going for the overtake then losing miserably

What was the Corsa originally? What mods it had etc? Sounds like a good deal for you
