Glad they didn't go with that opening. It would have detracted from what Tony was trying to do through the first half of the film, which was keep up a good front while trying to find a cure for his palladium poisoning. Only when he seemed resigned to fate and decided to lose it at his birthday party - that was the time to show him getting stupid.
Besides, where were they going to find the time to build up Whiplash? The opening montage for him was necessary.
