Are you saying that each router receive 999 copies of
full route (these days, there are 1M routes) information
for iBGP is not a problem?

OTOH, if there are 1000 border routers, configuration
simplicity means to have some automatic mechanism to
generate and install configuration files for the routers,
with which TCP mesh can be maintained automatically
without any added complexity.
