[Star Wars] Why didn't Vader have a better suit constructed?

Okay, before I get shouted at. I've seen a lot of posts recently that state Vader was much weaker in his suit than before, due to how cumbersome it was. Now I know my question might sound stupid, but why didn't Vader simply have a better one commissioned? If the Emperor forbade him couldn't he simply have done it in secret? I mean he is the right hand of the Emperor after all, he will have access to a lot of funds and resources, right? 

For example, when Luke had his hand severed, his replacement was awesome, and unless you damaged the hand you wouldn't even be able to notice. Surely Vader could have had the same equipment commissioned? I do understand also that he required parts of his suit as life support, but he had a large amount of time to create a more agile design.

Agility?  Vader can be one spry motherfucker when he wants to be!  Watch him freaking almost *teleport* around Cloud City while dueling Luke...just to fuck with him.  Sure, *at first* he was a plodding, lumbering Frankenstein monster when he walked because it took time to get used to being RoboCop In Space... but soon enough he could leap, sprint, and dance with the best of them (don't quote me on that last one).

So why move at the speed of a constipated bantha most of the time?  **Because it's intimidating as fuck, that's why.**  Like Jason Voorhees and Michael Meyers, he's not gonna run up to you, he's going to let you run away, it doesn't matter.  He's going to find you, he's going to catch you,and he's going to murder you.  It is inevitable, and it's just a matter of time.  That's **far** more terrifying than being all flippy-dippy jumpy-twirly all the time.

Add to that that his suit - in addition to being a walking iron-lung, is also a **fucking tank.**  Blaster fire?  Bitch, please, he'll stop that with a glove.  A direct hit with a lightsaber only barely pierces his shoulder-plate, and can't even make it completely through his helmet.  Vader's not trying to be a rogue, he's a goddamned tank and he likes it that way.  When he rolls DnD at the Imperial lounge, he likes +parry and he likes +dodge and +hp, and *fuck every other stat.*

Add to that the fact that his completely integrated cybernetic arms and legs make him virtually tireless.  Dude doesn't need to recharge for a standard month.  It doesn't matter how flippy-dippy drop-outs like Tano are when their muscles - however Force-enhanced - will inexorably, inevitably tire out.  Vader's in duels for the long game, he'll absorb everything a Jedi has to throw at him, power through it, and then beat the ever-living fuck out of the Light Side pansy once they've exhausted themselves.  **He's the Dark Side Rocky Balboa.**

*But it's uncomfortable/painful in there.*  So what?  That's *even better!*  Dark Siders thrive on anguish, pain, torment, fear, and anger.  Having a suit that hurts like fuck only make his rage - and thus strength - more powerful.  No cushy silks, no shock-absorbing padding, no memory foam... just anger, torment, pain, and above all **Unlimited Power.**
