You can't have all the features mate, some can be added to a stock ECU but not all and it costs too.
Yes you can get new everything pretty much but again it would cost a fortune so isn't an option really.
It's not going to be better because what may have been top of the line 20 years ago after millions of pounds of development is now readily available for a fraction of the price and with faster, more efficient hardware.... Everything moves on over time.... 8bit to 16bit to 32bit to 64bit processors for example.

lol
Anything can develop a fault new or old yes... But generally the older and more used it is the more likely it is to develop a fault.
Have a think about it mate, why wouldn't picking up another second hand Webber ECU and plugging it in not tell you if yours was at fault?.... Even a known working one from a running car.
