Sounds to me like a: you are only looking at best routes or
b: one of  
the providers is sending you more specific customer routes
(that they  
summarize before sending to non-customers).

Personally I would just slurp one set of routes into an
array in perl  
and then delete them if they appear in the other set. Any
left over  
in either set are unique....
