bgp_local_pref is here to choose the one way for outgoing traffic (and
as_path prepending do the same for incoming traffic). But i think that
Victor swapped the values - higher is more preferable so it should be
200 for THRU_AS1 and 100 for THRU_AS2.

path metric 0 is unnecessary, because routes are already
sorted by local_pref.

bgp_med is unnecessary if both uplinks are to different ASes.
