[c-nsp] BGP load balancing (outbound)

Scenario: 6509-3BXL receiving 2 full tables.
Problem: Outbound traffic imbalance
Feed 1 (AS1 in this example): Direct to tier-1 provider
Feed 2 (AS2 in this example): Colo/house 'mix' of about 5 providers
Outbound traffic pretty much all goes out feed 1. BGP tables from each
provider are nearly identical, so the router is either choosing the lowest
router-id, or shortest BGP path..even if I prepend the inbound on feed 1 I'm
still seeing most/all traffic leave feed 1... any advice on getting traffic
to balance without static route-maps? I'm perfectly happy if odd/even AS's
were pref'd to one or the other...anything BGP based. Regex on the inbound
route-maps? Example of something that might work?
Thanks in advance...
