BGP Path decision process shows that weight is higher in the path selection to the decision that says ebgp is preferred over ibgp.
BGP is a tricky beast where the AD isn't chosen first, it's not a traditional routing protocol more a path selection. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong as I have my written exam soon and I'll have to go back to the books !!!!
