Do you know where the problem is ?

"Ideally we should change all sym's".

In the printouts I made, I gravitated towards camelcase with initial 
capital for the device attribute to keep columns short. Like in:

if you upcase it, it would look a little thick:

maybe its best to let the user handle that. He/she can change device
attributs to suit his/her taste.

But I do think the output should not have its case changed.

If you want to change anything, wouldn't it be better to have a separate
sch/sym beautifier script ?

Have you considered the way I sorted the values, like in:

instead of purely alfabetical ?
You could also possible merge say 1000 and 1k, and align the col. at
the decimal point, as in

  2.2
100
  3.3k
 47k

And it would be nice if columns lined up as in first example above.
