Well I did mention the UPro is finally a controller primarily designed for 3D gaming, Personally for the vast majority of the games I play I would be happy if the d-pad was entirely replaced with 4 normal buttons, some old games do work better with a d-pad over a control stick, mainly 2D platformers that use the d-pad up and down for jumping and crouching. Most modern 2D games though work as well, if not better with a control stick over d-pad... in fact due to the extra buttons on modern controllers the jump/crouch of old 2D games could be moved to other buttons anyway... so the d-pad is redundant.
Unless you have deformed thumbs there are only 2 reasons I can think of that people would prefer d-pad and buttons in the prominent position. One is that you play a lot of 2D games (fighters for example are probably the genre that interests me least of all, but I can imagine a d-pad is wanted for move combos), and the other is that you are doctrinated to the PS controller.

Fighters are one of my favorite genres. I also love platformers too. I wanna play UMVC3 or SC5 I'm just not sure I would enjoy them on the 360 given my reluctance over the d-pad so far. I prefer 2d games in general.

Hmm well I still think the UPro would work just fine, Nintendo may make mistakes with their controllers (not enough buttons or just generally weird like N64) but comfort hasn't been one of them so far.. And if not then there is another choice with the main Wii U pad (which also has the buttons below control sticks but as it's a taller controller it might provide more comfort for long d-pad sessions) Or if you still don't like it you could buy a Classic Controller Pro, which has all the buttons in the right place for you (disadvantage of having to hook it up to a Wii remote though)
