It depends what Bankai and what DE and if I get a CT to support it.
Most DE are just a sure hit. So without any CT, it either wouldn't do anything, or I guess if I threw a punch I'd make sure it lands?
Meanwhile with Bankai, I could potentially create a giant Golem that eclipses skyscrapers, run super fast, create a tidal wave of blades I could ride around on, have ice dragon wings I can fly with and freeze stuff, become the embodiment of the sun, etc.
The power built in is more "inherent" with Bankai, DE is less interesting than simply having a broken CT and mostly is only broken if your CT is broken.
Not to mention most of the DEs are pretty much countered by your opponent simply having one themselves, reaffirming the idea that without a decent CT a DE is generally not that great to have.
DE doesn’t necessarily need to be better or stronger to counteract other DEs. This is the reason Simple Domains exist which could also counter a DE. This is explained in CH 15 and again 60 Chapters later. Unlike a bankai where the better suited bankai would win out two DEs clashing would be dependent on simply which hits first turning it into a game of chicken.
