Are you suggesting getting the default gateway from both providers or getting the full table from one and using the default as a backup on the other (7206)?

Thanks,

But we usually peak at about 200Mbps on this link. The full routing

You don't necessarily need the full routing table for dual home, only
for outgoing load balance. You can have BGP, filter your routes away,
just leave a default gateway and still have dual homing. Your outgoing
traffic will work as if it were active-standby, though.
