With public peering you simply never know how much spare
capacity your peer has free. And would you expect your
peer with 400 Mbit/s total to have 400 reserved on his AMSIX
port for you when you see 300 at LINX and LINX goes down?
Been there, numerous times. I still tend to say - it depends
on your type of peers and traffic per peer.
