Thanks for all the interest. I'll answer a few of the points, but if you have any other questions, please do drop me a message.

In particular something very close to "The Arcade Professional" would be cool.

I do have an option of a larger sloped enclosure. It is a bit of a beast, but lends itself well to a 'fight stick' style joystick. I plan to build a CD32 stick into one of those enclosures very soon as a test.

If it runs on the A500, A600, then surely it will run in two button mode on the CD32 ?!?

Yes indeed the two-button stick does work on the CD32, the 3rd party interface is something that I am using to build full seven-button CD32 sticks. I am currently finishing off my first prototype of that.

It's not something I have personally noticed. All of the arcade sticks I have looked at use four microswitches that are individually pressed by an actuator on the joystick shaft. I have upgraded the actuator on a couple of Sanwa sticks that reduces the engagement travel distance, so you may find that helps?

I appreciate the cost is fairly high, but the cost of the parts is a significant portion of this and they are all custom built by hand, so it simply wouldn't be viable for me to build them for any less.
