If the space is ARIN assigned PI, itisn't going to aggregate with the colo provider's space, so the prefix will still be a separate announcement. The only difference is the AS path is one entry longer.
Well, obviously, the path entry is longer. :)It's not huge, but it is there. And like I said, many people argue over additions to the table which are actually useful.
