Multisite / Network: Registration Settings Error

I’m trying to configure the registration settings of my multisite network with “Logged in users may register new sites”; but when i do, there is no ability for visitors to register as a user/subscriber.

there are 4 options:

“Registration is disabled” – this wont work for me, because i want visitors to have the ability to register as a user/subscriber.

“User accounts may be registered” – this is not ideal, because i do want registered users/subscribers to have the ability to create a network/subsite, if they are logged in.

“Logged in users may register new sites” – i understand this to mean that a visitor would be able to register as a user/subcriber, and after that they would be able to register a network/subsite. if so, this appears to be what i need.

“Both sites and user accounts can be registered” – this option appears to allow simultaneous user/subscriber registration and network/subsite registration. this sounds like a suitable option. but the fact is, it is poorly implemented, in my opinion; primarily because the registration form defaults to the “Gimme a site” radio button. this might be problematic for my visitors who don’t/won’t/can’t read and consider the form carefully. and i could end up with a bunch of network/subsites nobody wants or needs.

am i understanding these options correctly?
is there a solution?

thanks!
