I'm not sure which way it is easier to compare it :) But go ahead and try
it and we will see.
Quite interestingly, 'ls -s --si' (without -h) prints rounded numbers
(like 400M) instead of precise numbers, at least for me. That's really
not ideal.
--si is likewise -h, just use powers of 1000 not 1024(see 'ls' manual).
