I like the idea as a concept  

Great! ;)

but there are two issues:
  1. The IEC suffix is a rarely used thing and is non-standard
     for communications where K = 1000 M = 1000000 etc.
     Please just use standard suffices  

Removed the suffix in patch v3. Not sure if it is correct, though. I do use a
base of 2, so K = 1024, M = 1048576, ...

No must be 1000 for communications (SI)
