Interestingly enough seems true. Using route maps I set lower weight and higher local pref on routes from a particular AS to try and force traffic to prefer traffic from a different AS on another router. It still chose the external routes on the locally connected internet interface versus from the other router advetising external routes via IBGP between routers.
So what other methods can one use to influence the routes. We have one router connected to AS 701 and another connected to AS 1. Each router prefers the external routes off of the local internet connected interface - so traffic is basically evenly split 50/50. Want a 80/20 or similar distribution.

Unless you specify "bgp always-compare-med".
