so, rather than do the rr thing, which is labor intensive and a dead end in the long run, just jump to routers that can handle it, like small 36xx (or 26xx if they have the ram, i really don't know that end of your products well).
Many small providers aren't very good at filtering their routes in the first place. Sloppiness in a mini-nap is expected. One person with a little clue and a route server can make _everyones_ lives easier in such a situation. Scaling routers is relatively easy. Scaling clue is harder. :-) (Note that I wont disagree that in such a situation, full-mesh peering is a very viable option.)
