The differences that aren't always emulatable are:

1. Pre/post filter ring
2. Harmonic content generation

Filterbank letsyou control #1, which is why it can emulate so many types of EQs, but most EQs don't provide any user control over this, it's just a part of the algorithm implemented, or they might have some kind of musical/surgical type of simple mode selection that does have an effect on ringing, but usually not any direct control.

Harmonic content generation is something that would be pretty hard to emulate in a generic, user selectable sort of way.
