I would say that with ASA you'll put yourself into a limited situation. No 
support for dynamic routing over IPSec and no way to make a pre-emption to the 
more preferred peer.

I appreciate that, but I have indeed read all those papers.  HSRP and SSO do 
not help me because the primary ASA is in Michigan and the secondary ASA is in 
London, UK.

The goals is to have a remote site router closer to the US have a primary IPSEC 
connection to the Michigan ASA and a backup IPSEC connection to the London ASA, 
while a site closer to Europe would be the opposite.  The remote site routers 
have only a single internet connection.  Today it works because instead of an 
ASA at the head ends I have IOS routers with VTI interfaces, and thus I run BGP 
which takes care of things.  I am looking for a simpler design and to utilize 
the ASAs instead.
