Not quite - you'd need "%8.2f",statRound(aNum, 2)        :-)

And there is a lot of scope for confusion and/or error if some 
subsequent edit changes one of the two precision numbers without making 
the corresponding change in the other  
   "%8.2f", statRound(aNum, 1)   will give incorrect values with 0s at 
the end
   "%8.2f", statRound(aNum, 3)   will give incorrect values with the 
wrong rounding method.

So although it works to use statRound, I think it's noticeably better to 
have it built-in to "format".
