He'll be okie. It's just a little difficult for BGP to "load balance" outbound bits when the bulk of the Internet these days is 2 AS hops away from each of four upstreams. Not impossible, but it doesn't happen by default either.
I used to do this ages ago, I did it by setting MEDs on the incoming BGP prefixes, in my route-maps I arbitrarily gave some nets (/8s or smaller) lower med on one feed and higher on the others to influence path selection. I shy away from anything but the gentlest of tweaks so I personally wouldnt mess with as-path, localpref, weight etc Steve
