Have you actually used this in production, and seen the results you're 
claiming?

 From the 12.2 doc, BGP, Path Selection Algorithm:

11.  If the following conditions are true, insert the route for this 
path into the IP routing table:

- Both the best route and this route are external.
- Both the best route and this route are from the same external 
autonomous system.
- The maximum-paths router configuration command is enabled.

Seems to me that three different upstreams would fail the second 
condition, so it wouldn't work for this person's application.
