Looks that way to me. You could try setting enable_sort off as well,
which will penalize the seqscan+sort plan another 100million cost units.
And maybe try reducing random_page_cost to make the indexscan look
cheaper. However, if there's a 100million delta between the two plans,
I suspect you really really don't want the indexscan anyway ;-)
