Is there anything in these luxury brands that make them better than just buying from your local tailor or Suitsupply? Why do these suits cost so much and what is its benefit?
yes, you will feel twice as smug

There is a difference, the brand. I've found through experience that the best suits are not the most expensive and not the most cheap but the ones in the middle. Go for a charcoal grey because you can dress them up and down very easily as they go with many colours.

this.
I mean there's basically a limit to how much you can even do with a simple piece of clothing like the kind that go into a suit
there's pretty much no possible way you could even make 1500USD worth of difference between 2 suits

You are completely wrong.

Here's what happened. Companies wanted to sell more suits, but noticed that most people doesnt want to buy cheap suits (ie, H&M suits, etc) but instead wants to look like theyre successful.
Of course, these people wear expensive suits. The problem for companies such as Prada or Burberry is, these suits are expensive for a reason. Making a legit full-canvas suit in good fabric is time-consuming and requires a master tailor meaning low volumes and high prices.
So what they did instead was make suits similarly to cheaper suits (fused canvas, etc) but use somewhat more (though usually not alot) premium fabric and put the rest of the money into advertisement. These are commersially the most successful bracket of suits, represent the absolute bottom in terms of value per dollar and have huge profit margins.
