BGP setup and options for configuration

Hey there, not much info i can find on setting up BGP and I am tasked with doing this next week.

It looks stupid simple, but i know on other routers there are many more options. I had a few questions

1) following this article here: ( https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000038375?language=en_US#what-to-do ). on the CLI, there appears to be a whole BGP section that is missing from my configuration. I do not have any "option 3" under my routing menu. This is in FW 18.0. Is the documentation out of date now? I really wanted to look at what was possible from the CLI.

2) In the BGP section, there is only 3 settings. Neighbours, AS number and networks to advertise. Is there some way to set weights to the connection types or anything like that? as-path?

3) Is the XG330 able to handle full routing tables? I am at aprox 30% ram usage right now. I know they can be quite big. What is recommended by sophos?

The goal of the project here is to get BGP routing between two ISPs. We have two connection providers and they are turning on BGP for us next week, so that our netblock can roam incase of an outage between ISPs.

any other information or configuration documents that i am missing would be helpful. it almost looks TOO simple.. but i have never done it before. thanks
