estout: Controlling number of decimals using estpost summarize

I'm using estout to create a table of summary statistics in LaTeX. 

estpost summarize Var1-Var20
esttab using summarystatistics.tex, replace booktabs  cells("count mean sd min max") noobs nomtitles nonum

This produces more significant digits than necessary, though. I would like to have at most 4 digits for each variable.

I couldn't find the option for this in the help file nor any information online. I know I could control the digits after comma using sutex, but I'd prefer estout for the booktabs option.

Maarten goes straight to the point. Below an example:

clear all
set more off

sysuse auto

estpost summarize length weight
esttab using summarystatistics.tex, replace booktabs  ///
    cells("count mean(fmt(2)) sd(fmt(2)) min max") noobs nomtitles nonum

The fmt() suboption for cells() is documented in help estout.

The fmt() option governs the number of digits.
