I dont know if I would consider the forcing of the unity UI on people an upgrade!

Ahh it looks like 'ubuntu classic' mode has been removed but a quick google tells me you can install something called 'GNOME3 classic (fallback) mode'.

I think I'll give this a try and let you guys know how I get on.

Just install gnome-shell or gnome-session-fallback. It was only omitted from the default install set.
