No idea -- just mentioning a possible option that might save you some work on routing your CP. The button chart on Slagcoin implies that these are similar to the Happ Horizontal. (concave buttons)

That's why I figured I'd mention these as an option.

:dunno Maybe Andy doesn't think the market is there for them or he's planning to roll them out later. :dunno

edit: deleted ramblings
decided:
1 short + 2 long zippy joysticks
1x minimusAVR
9x play buttons, 3x control
undecided:
Buttons, can't decide between: GoldLeaf concave, IL Competiton Convex, Sanwa OBSN30 convex
At the moment GoldLeaf has it by a very small margin, I think.
If I choose Goldleafs I will get the 3 control buttons as IL convex, so I can try them out as fire buttons as well.
Latest layout, colour scheme, and mounting plan attached.
Note that I will have my keyboard available at the same time, for other functions. I don't really need the 1P,2P,coin but might as well use up the 20 inputs on minimusAVR.

I've built 1 multi-williams machine and I sold it. Biggest issue was the reverse wasn't close enough to the joystick. I built a dedicated defender layout and I love it. I am using a genuine defender stick. The artwork is a little off on the lettering. I am going to order some new artwork and re-arrange the lettering so it fits under the buttons.
As far as I'm concerned, keep it simple. Keep it to Defender/Stargate. Build another machine for everything else. And use leafs for the buttons, anything else is a compromise.

Here is mine

Leapinlew, What distance is your reverse button offset from the joystick? (centreline to centreline)
Who knows what the orignal was?
Is the attached panel layout someones personal version, or a faithful drawing of the original?
It shows 1.75"(44mm)horizontal and 1.375"(35mm)vertical.
I'm not overly bothered about this info, as I'll put it where it feels good to me anyway (same as the other buttons), but it would be nice to know.
Also, what diameter ball was the original, and how far above the surface was it? This I would like to replicate.
I'm pretty happy that my multi layout doesn't compromise Defender at all, the 4way can even be switched to 2 way if I really want it to be more like the original.
