MQoS plus duct-tape routing

I was going over Internetworkexpert's R&S workbook last night,
specifically Tasks 9.11-9.14 in Lab 2 (page 30) and something occurred
to me.

Let's say the requirements were slightly different. Let's say you want
the bandwidth allocation the same but instead of forcing traffic to
transit the serial link, you wanted that traffic to PREFER the link instead.

Would you mess with IGP configuration, or could you use a different
route-map to manipulate metrics?

I realize in the real world you would probably use floating statics, but
the exam might actually have something like this on it -- manipulate
traffic direction without messing with the IGP.
