Is this the model with knobs aligned vertically, as in the first picture or knobs staggered diagonally, as in the other pictures?

the knobs are staggered diagonally

Is this the same as built in to the 286S?

Yes and no. I have both and I prefer the 500 series. The difference is notable however. Circuitry is less complex than the 286s therefore the analog path is shorter and the engineering behind the 500 is tuned for a single purpose.

Are these sturdy, good quality?

Yes, especially for the price point.
