There was nothing confusing in Sven's message until you mentionned UEFI in response to "I love the GPT". Why did you start talking about UEFI ? >> Can you tell more ?

Could you please give a concrete example ? AFAIK, GRUB cannot use a partition in MSDOS format to store its core image in the same way as it uses a BIOS boot partition in GPT format. If you're talking about a partition mounted on /boot/grub, it is not the same at all. If you're talking about another bootloader, please name it.
