They are both great authors, of the two I wouldn't be able to say which one is my favourite, they scratch different itches.

I agree :)

It just comes down to my preferences for what kind of itch I liked scratched the most. Egan stretches my brain and makes me wonder at the complexity of complexity. But Banks makes me yearn for the future. Demonstrates what wonders could be possible if we fast forward technological development forward 10k years.

The magnificent intellects of the artificial minds that govern the society hits me in my soul. What a wonderful idea.
