Nlayer is not crap/cheap they are a lower cost network but nlayer has a-lot of peering, more peering than you probably are thinking. Nlayer was bought by servercentral last year for a tune of 110mil? ServerCentrals network is a very very good network and i'm sure over the year they have tweaked nlayers network as well. Overall nlayer is a great network for peer traffic.
Its good practice to announce inbound routes over lower latency networks. Majority of "slowness" is due to inbound packets being held up and not necessarily the return path.
