Using SYM key once gives opportunity to enter several.
If we're counting button presses, the ALT way still wins. To type, say, 1982.

ALT method
ALT, Q, ALT, O, ALT, I, ALT, W
= 8 presses

SYM method
SYM, down, down, left, select, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, select, left, select, left, left, left, left, left, left, select, SYM
= 24 presses
