If you change your track names before you consolidate, you will get the "B" in your file name. It also helps to select another folder in the Disk Allocation dialog for those consolidated files. Duplicate your playlists before consolidating and you can still access your original edits.

Another advantage to my original suggestion is that you get a backup of the original session, just in case you decide you want something from a deleted take. Of course, you have to be diligent in your disk management, or you will have a confusing number of duplicate sessions. Color coding the folders can help with this; one color for current, another color for back-ups, etc. Fortunately, disk space is pretty cheap these days, so you can (and should) keep at least one backup copy of any current sessions, preferably on a seperate disk.
