He should be able to beat Bane in a duel, not sure about the force. Leaning towards somewhat of an even split.
Beating Jerec is more impressive than anything Bane ever did. Jerec was capable of causing a massive explosion, hurling portions of the valley of the Jedi, and Kyle resisted the dark energies Jerec was using:

Jerec felt a sense of warmth and peace as the cocoon of light formed
