I haven't read Chiang's, but I'd argue it's very difficult for the science to be mindblowing. It's either too much within reach or too far outside it. Or requires a novel to explicate.
Ringworld (Niven) is pretty awesome, conceptually. Greg Egan's one about the Theory of Everything is brilliant too. The rest? Meh.
