Well, instinctively i would agree: keep it as simpel as possible.

But performance is good: sometimes my latency is slightly (1 ms) higher.
And horror stories like above (failure-rate) are completely unknown.

Since HE has a end-point on the ams-ix, performance is that good, that i
even recommended it at work. Furthermore, HE has 25 tunnel-endpoints at
several major internet-router-sites (london, frankfurt, paris,
singapore, hongkong), so you can avoid the single point of failure.
