Looking to go from smaller to larger , ie from old drive(s) to new drive(s) ... I was hoping for a one-stop solution without having to purchase software for a one time client, and minimize my time as well ( versus a simple clone/copy and then partition resize) ..

Newer versions of diskpart can shrink, you could shrink the original partition before. I don't know any freeware version that can go from big to small, even g4u can't :( The live cd's usually have a Linux equivalent to diskpart that can shrink/extend but they arent as reliable on NTFS as diskpart.
