It will allow you to specify partition offsets in sectors, instead of hoping that your current fdisk aligns partitions at the exact location that the previous partitioner did.

As a general rule, I always use resize2fs -M to make sure I don't get caught in conversion errors (1000 vs 1024 etc). Also, after changing the partitions you should resize the PV to the real size of the partition (i.e. without size argument). It's your best way to ensure everything has gone right.
