If the set of pieces is not fixed, but you may choose some of them, I'm afraid it will give two problems: 1) the strategy would not change much, because you don't know the set choosen by your opponent. 2) the uncertainty given by the unknown opponent's pieces would lead to a more difensive and slow game
The most important thing for me in a new variant is a higher speed of the game.
