Dual Boot with Win8 on Sony Vaio Fit 15 (new to EFI problems) SVF15A18CXB

I just got a new laptop, and as far as the hardware goes I'm happy with it. Of course, I won't be using Windows for work, and only for games.

So far I have figured how to boot to the Live USB DVD installer. By default, openSUSE wants to use the pre-existing EFI boot partition. I have read elsewhere this is not advisable since Windows will overwrite it making it impossible to boot back into openSUSE. I have disabled Secure Boot, with no problems.

Ideally I'd like to use GRUB to boot to Windows and openSUSE. However, I'm amenable to using Windows own Boot Manager (I saw something about it allowing other operating systems) or even other options. I just want it to work, and don't want the drama of fighting with the last three machines I had.
