That makes perfect sense Joel - Thanks!
Do you know if there is a debug message that I should of picked up on R1 to

Subject: RE: BGP Path Question
Only the best path (shown by the ">") is advertised to the neighbor.
R1 wont advertise the path back to its neighbor R3, since it is using the
advertisement from R3 (that same neighbor) in the first place == Split
