This is subjective though. To me the first price looks like the price of a
cup of coffee (or I just mentally double it). The second looks like the
price of an expensive holiday.
If users really find this so terrible, merchants have a simple solution: do
the rounding before presenting the price. Then the price looks like "3.12
mBTC" which is sort of what I'd expect it to look like. But some wallets
already make digits >2dp smaller so visually you can get precision whilst
still looking similar to what you might expect (this is what Bitcoin Wallet
does).

That's the good argument!
