I think you'll be disappointed, or people will find you frustrating, at a sanctioned event.If you want to play it differently at home: have at it.  It doesn't break the game, but I'd be shocked if a vast majority didn't read the rule and walk away with the idea that spells are prepared at the end of a long rest, and are not meant to be left open or manipulated at other points (unless explicit mechanics are introduced to allow the change from the standard rules).</blockquote>
