If someone posts a pic of the flat bottom button head on and in unlocked position, I can gin up a pic that will show you what it would look like machined out to a ring. rojo, yours was fine in showing the general idea, mine might depict the resulting abomination better 
do not modify!

Here, show-off. I dare you to present a more lifelike rendering than the one I made for you with my astounding MS Paint I mean Photoshop skills.

Not such a bad idea, I get the point. But for me the tricky part when I try to lock/unlock with the flat bottom is to actually get my finger in the space, grab the lock somehow and lock it without pushing the button. Weird thing is I can do that 10 times successfuly and think I get the trick, and next try there's just no way I can lock it, no matter what 
rojo I'm on it, your 1st pic is the best - dead headon.
anavidfan, just slightly off - but YOUR button is much nicer than rojo's

Ive been looking at that rendering, and yes, it does look rather dull and the depth around the button bad, But if the depth was just shallow enough to get your finger on the slide , it might not look so bad.
Problem is that most of the users are men and mens fingers are usually larger than mine so its harder to get it in there enough to move the slide lock.
In the future just to keep people happy and to offer different looks for the ELA, maybe a bottom piece similar in idea of the Satburn but more refined as Super T but with a button replacement with a "P" like those on the Simplicity. Still utilizeing the original bottom contact , but slides over it, with a twist lock?

lol, I will give you an 'A' for effort on yours - has a Picasso flare to it, might be worth big bucks some day!
My mind of course keeps going. The ELA just reeks of so much potential in customizing. I think the next possible update could be the locking ring. Insead of being knurled a beautiful smooth design with some vertical notches, not like the King, but some plain smooth chambered lines.
Or actually some horizontal lines to match the lines on the accent ring on the bottom?
BTW, I love the knurling, but I know when I was showing it off during the initial pre-order so many said they did not "care for knurling" or that they didnt "care for the butto........
But many of those are now beating their self over not getting an ELA.

is this head on enough?
Because yours is so nice, I buffed her up with a little simichrome
It will certainly work, that has been confirmed by Mr. Super-T himself, go for it if you have the tools, I would if I felt the same way. You should see some modified golf clubs I have in the garage, I can take a divot on pavement.
ELA has landed folks! It's so beautiful! I haven't actually used it yet, but that will be happening soon. I'm sure I'll be back in the near future, asking "noob" questions. For now, off to play with my new toy

So, first question lol... How do you adjust the button throw? I'd like to try and shorten it.
First impressions - so heavy!

It is quite a lovely hunk of stainless steel. I believe ( ive never done it) you place one of the washers under the bottom contact? Dont know how its done, but Im sure someone will hop in soon
