Not to be a jerk, but whats brilliant about the magnetic centering? I didn't find the centering to be any better or worse on this stick. The switching mechanism was great, for me. I don't think normal people care about things like 4 way and 8 way. In fact, trying to show my wife how to switch to a 4 way mode was confusing for her and she opted to not even play.
The Ultimarc360 with auto-mapping on the fly really looks like it's the way to go.

My problem is that it feels like the horizontal and verticals are much harder to hit than diagonals. When playing robotron, for example, in normal, mindless gameplay, 90% of my shots are diagonal, and I have to really concentrate on positioning the joystick just so to get it to shoot vertical or horizontal.

This sounds just like the T-Sticks that I have. The only difference is the centering mechanism. I am chomping at the bit to get money together so I can replace my T-Sticks with U360s. I might get dedicated 8-way joys and keep one T-Stick as a dedicated 4-way.
