Although Vader wanted to turn Luke to the dark side, he was perfectly willing to kill Luke, as his thoughts in the RotJ book describe. On the other hand, according to yourself, Luke never wanted to kill Vader. Both were conflicted to a certain extent.
It was Vader being Willing to kill Luke which was causing his conflict, and bringing out his Light Side.
He claimed to himself he was willing to kill Luke, but we saw when it came down to that he wouldn't let that happen.
Lightsiders are not conflicted when they don't want to kill.
Heck Ben Kenobi didn't even want to fight Maul, yet stomped him when Maul attacked, being described as all "Zen".

You're right, because if anything Vader was more conflicted about killing Luke. Whereas Anakin went all out trying to kill Kenobi.

Agreed. At that point Lucas is only second to Palpatine and Yoda in the mythos. Stupid thread.
