The OP's problem is different

The size issue I dealt with by having the foresight to make the OS partition on my hard drive no larger than the SSD I expected to buy a few months down the road, so that simply wasn't an issue for me.

Most people are migrating from a boot HDD that they bought in a system, before having the intention to port to a (smaller) SSD, so your solution does not work for them.
