Really? The orbalisks had already absorbed over a million volts earlier in the book. Each electrostaff had enough charge to fry a bantha and Bane got hit by like 6 of them without issue. Bane's lightning completely toasted himself. You'll need to give me something to show Cade's lightning is better than Bane's. Also Bane can block lightning. That's still a thing that people can do. 😬
And RoT Bane had the perfect counter to Dark Transfer with his instant regeneration. If Cade tries it on Bane it'll probably just make him mad.

No, that's not what I'm implying but it is probably true. The most basic lightning can just hurt a normal person whereas those electrostaves on max settings could kill a 2.5 meter tall, 1 ton animal.
Bane shrugged off the effects of 6 of them.

Bane's Lightning is nowhere near impressive, where as Cade has fried Sith and used it with Dark Transfer and Shadowpoint. Or are you implying that Bane's Lightning is more powerful than Dark Transfer(which is essentially specialized Lightning) and Shatterpoint? It's not like Bane is so powerful Cade can't get in close.
Shadowpoint? Sounds like a yugioh card. Try sticking to the right genre buddy.
Dark Transfer and Shatterpoint aren't things you can be more powerful than, they're techniques. It's like asking if I'm stronger than a roundhouse kick. The strength of those techniques depends on the person using the technique. That Cade has used lightning with those techniques isn't remotely an indication of his lightning's strength compared to Bane.
Also I'm pretty sure Dark Transfer just resembles lightning and Cade isn't actually using lightning at the same time. Lightning appears even when he's healing people, why would he be zapping someone he's trying to heal?
Bane's lightning is much more impressive than Cade's is, he's turned people into ash with a casual burst and rendered a drexl into a charred husk. He also tore through Farfalla's defenses and would have killed him had Raskta not intercepted. And it utterly eclipses a millions volts/the power of 6 electrostaves.
Unless you have something real I think we're done with this point. Frankly though, I just looked through Ant's respect thread and saw nothing impressive with lightning. And Ant's thread is undoubtedly more extensive than anything you could come up with.

It's not like the ability to block Lightning is guaranteed. The fact that Cade's produced it in such wide areas before makes me doubt Bane could just negate it with a lightsaber.
Bane has also created massive storms of lightning. Are you going to accept it if I then suggest that Cade couldn't contain his attack? So can Sidious, yet we saw what happened to him. So can Vitiate. Same deal.
Bane merely needs to draw the lightning that threatens his body into his blade. Easy enough. Creating a wide area of lightning doesn't really matter against just one person. What's Cade gonna do, fry the floor?
Oh and btw no Cade actually hasn't done that so whatever. There's this:
But it looks pretty dang unrepeatable for combat.

Do your homework:
"I got this crazy healing ability. I can see the weak points in you like little broken red lines! I can see where you got wounded recently. Someone smack you during a sparring session? Bet it was Nihl. I could heal that hurt. Pour the Force into the place where the red lines intersect. Or—and here's a new idea—Maybe I could explode that point. Kill you. Interesting idea. Should we try?"
Dark Transfer works by damaging the body. Bane heals extremely fast, so it wouldn't be especially effective on him.
There's no reason Dark Transfer would be effective against orbalisks. Protected by their shells, they've never been injured. Not even old scars would be available.
Also I'd say that if he's conscious and unharmed, Bane can try to nullify the toxins with the technique he learned from Revan's holocron.
