Worse, in my miserable experience, the APS would flip back and forth.
It's not supposed to, but it has.  I firmly recommend: do not pay for
APS.  Put the money toward diverse paths.  As usual, Paul Vixie has got

APS is not intended to be a standalone protection factor. Implemented on routers, it will only protect you up to the first LTE. In most cases, this will be an in-house cross connect.

Don't confuse APS with 1+1 protection.
