Rodrigo,
I don’t think there is a difference in your specific case here. Either would provide the prefixes learned from the neighbor with a WEIGHT value of 100.
Now, what would you do if a couple prefixes being learned from this neighbour needs to have a weight attribute of 100? Can you use WEIGHT in the neighbour statement?
HTH, Shine

Hi,
When using the attribute weight on BGP, what is the difference and when it should be used either on a route-map or directly with the neighbor, example:
router bgp 100 no synchronization bgp router-id 150.6.6.6 bgp log-neighbor-changes neighbor 54.6.3.254 remote-as 54 neighbor 54.6.3.254 weight 100
Versus
router bgp 100 no synchronization bgp router-id 150.6.6.6 bgp log-neighbor-changes neighbor 54.6.3.254 remote-as 54 neighbor 54.6.3.254 route-map SET-WEIGHT in
Route-map SET-WEIGHT permit 10 - set weight 100
Thanks
