intercooler upgrade

I have a 7.3 and want to upgrade the intercooler. Is a Banks 6.0 a better upgrade than a 6.0 Ford intercooler? I found a Banks(new) at a good price?
Your replies have always helped me. Keep up the good work.Thanks

Banks is very overpriced unless it's used. Spearco and DI have performance intercoolers that will outpreform the Banks but if the price is right...

At what point is an upgraded intercooler needed?

Also, how much of a power increase are we talking?

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm thinking about a new intercooler as well to drop my EGTs while towing. Is there a best intercooler?

Intercooler might be warranted if you want to drop egt's but power increase will be negligible. For the same money you would do better upgrading the chip, exhaust, intake...The 6.0 intercooler can be purchased very cheap if you want to go that route. If you go ahead with the upgrade, get the 6.0 intercooler. It bolts right in.
