Haven't we had this argument before?
Not that I recall, but we've had so many arguments...
I prefer Dire Beast because (a) it makes a distinction between a standard Dire Animal and a Magical Beast with dire saves and (b) I just think "Dire Beast" sounds better than "Dire" on itself, which could just infer it's awful.
We'll just have to agree to disagree. I prefer consistency with similar abilities, and the fact that it's a magical beast rather than an animal makes no difference, since both get the same good saves.
Personally, the whole "dire creatures get good Will saves" makes absolutely no sense to me in the first place.
