Wheel of Time or Malazan Empire?

I like reading epic Sci-fi and fantasy series es es 's' but I'm in a quandry at the moment. I've invested close to 8 years (on and off, not concurrently)reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. These books and I have had a volatile relationship over the years, like many relationships in fairness, but now there's someone new on the scene and I'm torn.

I picked up Steven Eriksons' "Garden of the Moon" a few days ago and I'm smitten.. Gone are the feelings of boredom, the resentfull bitterness and passive / agressive nitpicking I had with WOT and now I feel refreshed and excited at the thought of a 10 book marathon through a new environment. But the question I have is whether in another 7 books time will I feel the same way about the Malazan Empire as I do the Wheel of Time. Should I finish what I started or walk away now.
