Oh, that's true! So that problem is solved in both models.

As for the rest, I suppose the question comes down to whether or not you can apply blanket modifiers (whatever we choose to apply) to a meta-trait, or if the best way to apply a meta-trait is via Alternate Form (If you can turn into a Fire Elemental via Divine Powers or Sorcery, is it best to just have Body of Fire as the trait itself, or to have it as an alternate form, or some crazy affliction that only affects you?).
