OT: MLPPP Vs. IMA

Guys,
Sorry for the OT, but wanted to push this out and get some thoughts on it.
We just got a new account mgr from our telco, and he is tiring to get us to
go to IMA over our current MLPPP for local termination to our MPLS. I
have argued with with that if I have 3 IMA T1's and 3 MLPPP T1's that the
MLPPP will get better performance b/c of less over head than with the ATM
IMA links.
He is tiring to tell me that MLPPP is not really bonded that it basically is
doing per-packet load balancing per T1 and you will never get the full use
of the T1's.
I personally feel he is tiring to scam our upper mgt to getting more
expensive CE routers with the ATM AIM cards. I personally can not find any
doc's on this subject out there, and don't have a good way to test this.
Any one have any thoughts?

Thanks
Chris
