The Canadian distributor for Happ is Starburst:

For the most part, ignore the limited catalog on their website. You can order directly by email (include the Happ part numbers):
Toronto: dave@starburstcoin.com
Montreal: mlapointe@starburstmtl.ca
If you are in Toronto, then you can pickup at Starburst. Not sure if the same is true in Montreal.
You can get the Happ part numbers from the Happ site:
http://www.happcontrols.com/
Other than that, there are a number of good vendors in the USA, although I would recommend avoiding shipping by UPS as their brokerage charges are very high.

I also wanted to hide coin buttons on my panel, so they are underneath the panel. On the underside of the portion that overhangs the cabinet. I have a coin door that also registers, and I will eventually add a switch to disable the underside coin buttons so the coin door must be used.
Also, a spade bit works just fine in MDF. Especially since this is going to have a CPO. Also, the spade only makes a rough cut when it comes out of the wood, a portion noone sees.

.... now, how much 'feel' is there to the corners? ... how much 'corner' are we talking with the comp? Like, a kind of 'valley' that you feel as you circle the joystick (something like a octagonal restrictor plate feel?) or would it be more akin to a full on square range of motion feeling? IE - does a "quarter circle forward" feel like a 'quarter circle' or more like a 'quarter square'?

It feels sort of like with an octagonal restrictor, maybe a little squarer. The cardinal directions feel partially round, though, so you can't feel straight down, and the corners don't feel 90 degree "V"s. Nothing as bad as the square apple joystick feel.
It would be best if you could actually feel it; words are not enough IMO.

This is basically my resulting conclusion as well
