There's a few ways to neaten it, but it's a case of which information you can live without:

show bgp summary | except inet 
show bgp group summary | match l:

Failing that, I just hacked up an op script to only show a summarised version from each peer - output here:

Code here:

The script *should* sum all the prefixes from each RIB into a single summarised number per peer, but I haven't had a chance to test it too thoroughly yet.  Feedback/Pull Requests welcome.

Cheers,
