I hear you guys, It's done that way for a bit of traffic steering.
If I could get away with just the aggregates I would, Trust me.

That should be unnessecary, the local prefs should already be winning as a customer vs transit/peer for equal prefix length. As an aside, generally inbound traffic steering as a reason for disaggregation is fairly frowned upon by the community at large as it effectively makes everyone else pay more in additional hardware cost for your savings. -Blake
