If each router has only a defualt route to it respective provider and your doing HSRP you will only use 1 ISP for your egrees traffic, is that acceptable since most customers want to utilize both connections their paying for. I don't know about Sonic but I have seen firewalls that break if you send traffic out router A and it returns via router B.
