Not all routes are created equal. If you have a PNI and an IX connection of equal capacity, obviously the IX connection will fill up first given that there is more opportunity there. Also, there are more moving parts in an IX (and accompanying route servers), thus more to go wrong.

We don't particularly care how the routes are learned. Routes are routes.
