I don't think you'll have trouble with that. I did a few test searches on aa.com and ba.com and found surprisingly good availability on MIA-LIM (eco and biz). IAH-MIA, on the other hand, was a bit more challenging; on many dates, aa.com spits out some pretty creative routings for this sector (involving RJs connecting in airports I've never heard of), which are seemingly too complex for ba's search engine to process. So, you might fare best by focusing on dates with lightly booked IAH-MIA flights.
