Actually, I think they scrapped it not so much in order to keep Munch the figurehead of the story - in fact, there seems to be a tremendous ammount of fretting that Abe played too much of a pivotal role.
However, I suppose the dysfunctional relationship between Abe and Munch could actually build up over a period of time. Like, Munch got Abe's full cooperation in MO, and later he could get upset because Abe wants his own things done.
