On the other hand, does anyone have an answer to my question about buttonholes??

Modernize is capable of making surgeon cuffs (at least according to a documentary floating around the interweb), but I don't know if they can take an existing jacket and turn the dummy buttons into working cuffs. If they can, I expect it will cost you a pretty penny anyway because I don't think it's very easy.

they have to buy Hugo Boss (which is one shitty suit) or some other over priced brand but won't shell out that kind of money for a custom, hand made suit. It's sad.

Here's my rule of thumb - if the company cannot list the thread count of the wool on the suit, then it's a 'cheap' suit. I remember when I tried on a Hugo Boss suit - wearing the pants was like wearing parachutes. I can go to Zara and pay 10% of the price for pants/jackets with the same quality wool and that fit my frame.
