This is what I'd do (and have done before) to even things out.  Some would 
argue that when prepending received routes in a route-map, you should 
prepend with your own ASN.  I've found it less confusing to prepend that 
provider's ASN.  AFAIK, either works, and the latter certainly does as 
it's what I've done.
