I would have to agree. Especially since you already have key phrases in your file name.

Also, I am not sure about the 301 penalty that is stated above. I have never heard that a valid permanent redirect is a bad thing?
This is the exact type of situation that would require a 301 re-direct. It is what they were created for.
