Perhaps I'm being dense, but I don't understand how using PA space is going to save any routing table entries.  If I get a /20 from one of my providers, I have to announce it as a /20 through all of my providers.  How is this more efficient than receiving a /20 from ARIN and announcing that over multiple providers?  Same goes for IPv6.
