This 'get a /32' BAD ADVICE has got to stop. There are way too many people

Develop a plan for /48 per customer, then go to ARIN and get that size
block. Figure out exactly what you are going to assign to customers later,

More accurately... A /48 per customer end-site...

but don't tie your hands by asking for a block that is way too small to
begin with. Any ISP with more than 30k customers SHOULD NOT have a /32, and
if they got one either trade it in or put it in a lab and get a REAL block. 

But otherwise, yes, Tony is right.
