Should I play the vanilla Rome Total War first or Europa Barbarorum

So Medieval 2:Total War is probably my favourite game of all time or to be more accurate the Stainless Steel Mod of the game is.

I am just after purchasing Rome:Total War as I was not into games much when it first came out. My question is really, should I even bother with the vanilla game or just go straight for Europa Barbarorum?

Is it of the same quality a Mod as Stainless Steel is?

Does the vanilla version offer a different gameplaying experience or is it just blown away by EB?
