Exactly, that was my main point: 
that YOU get more flexibilty with GPT on an one-disk only box - maybe with the cost of new install AND re-partition ! -
The time you need to spent now is the time you save in the future - in my view -

I never use "automatic partitioning", cause I need to leave my /home un-touched.
Otherwise you get LVM (still valid ?) or msdos partition scheme.
In your current case LVM had been a win too, it also bring flexibility regarding re-partioning/re-sizing

I know/have learned if you don't start the installer without parameter inst.gpt (?) and choose manual partitioning you get the current partition scheme.

Maybe one should think about to make inst.gpt a default boot parameter for the installer ?
