Buttons aside, though, I wouldn't say Uniqlo is that much of a step down and should fit decently enough once I have the box pleat sewed down.
tl;dr - If you're into one of the funky prints from, get that; if you just want an oxford, don't bother.

So, what you're saying, is an off the rack shirt that's built for the masses doesn't fit your unique body shape? Oh shit.
