I used the legacy stuff until last week, when I had to send in the laptop to get the screen fixed.  I figured I would try the pure-EFI boot and see if I could get it working this time.  I updated the "Macbook Pro 8,1 / 8,2 / 8,3" wiki page with the grub config changes I had to do, so hopefully this is the last time it's an issue!
