ip route weight stupid question



Hello,
SO I have scoured the internet, the man pages, groups. I just cant find 
a definitive answer.


weight NUMBER - is a weight for this element of a multi-
     path route reflecting its relative bandwidth or quality.


So more weight = better quality = preferred  ????


e.g.
ip route add default scope global nexthop via x.x.x.1 dev eth0 weight 1 
nexthop via x.x.x.2 dev eth0 weight 2 

Does a higher weight mean that the route will be used more or used less ?


TIA
