Just be aware that any space you get from another LIR now is going to be from a PA block, so a) they can ask for it back or change terms and b) it's a pretty good idea to have either a tunnel or transit from the network which is announcing the wider prefix. Personally at this point I wouldn't be looking at sources for addresses other than RIPE unless I had already run out of the last /22 available from them.. If you aren't running a multi homed network / BGP yourselves then you could at least ask an upstream to announce it for you.
