The tiles are very well balanced, overall. In a game with more than 4 players, you're never going to be interested in taking a hit to hurt someone else, I'd say. So all this would do is let people get off to the start they want.I think the 4 choose 2 system is fine, personally. It gives you 6 choices, which is enough. I'd maybe go to 5 choose 2 if I felt starting tiles were too big a factor, but, I don't.
