I agree with this. I understand why some people like to have all that content available so they only have to play it once, but I don't agree. Picking an origin character should be a special choice, you shouldn't get almost all the experience seeing the origins you didn't pick. That just makes it less special.
Swen just said in the other topic that this will indeed be the case. Only one origin story in SP. Yay!
The rest of your idea sounds pretty good as well.
Thanks.
