Bad idea to use round() to make numbers format properly.  No guarantees 
that the print logic will then print the number rounded the way you 
want.  It could just as easily do 2.69999999999999  when you finally go 
to print it.

Best to use format(), the way it was intended.  Round to decimal while 
converting to decimal.  Otherwise surprises await in dark corners.
